Yes.

*WORKING* sound (speakers play sound and everything else (from what I've 
seen so far) seems as it should)
uname -a:
Linux seven 3.7-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.7.8-1~experimental.1 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

This was without pulseaudio, without /etc/asound.conf and without any 
kernel module parameters to snd and snd-intel-hda.
I had also tried 3.9.6 under this conditions, but same problem.

I guess you need more debug? Unfortunately alsa-compile complained that 
the linux-source-3.7 package vanished in the meantime from experimental.
But I guess I can figure that out if you need more debug output (as in 
the debian 3.7 kernel image I am using CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set).

Sorry, I had missed it.

*NON-working* sound (speakers don't play any sound, headphone out works 
fine)
uname -a:
Linux seven 3.9-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.9.6-1~bpo70+1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=af6f9823cfa865872e84f9d4da569b2a72b071b0

This is the debian 3.9.6 kernel + alsa-compile to get "debug=2" for 
snd.ko module to work as by default the CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set in 
debian kernels.

Hope that helps, please let me know.

Tormen.
