The link he posted is from alsa-info.sh, a script written by wishie on
 #alsa irc and heavily promoted by me.  It has the codec output, as
 well as everything else needed to determine how his system is
 configured.

Actually, a lot of laptops (mine included) have a mini-TOS plug    
 combined with a headphone plug, so it is possible for an optical jack
 and an analog jack to share space.  Plugging in an spdif cable with  
 mini-tos adapter activates the hp-detect routine.  I haven't tested
  spdif output yet (need a good stereo receiver), but that's the
 principle behind it.
