Ok, that makes some sense. It translates to me as
* With independent HP turned off - activates auto-mute between
speaker-out/line-out and headphone out. Note the difference between VIA
and Realtek/Sigmatel here as line-out are auto-muted as well.
* With independent HP turned on - headphone out and speaker-out/line-out
should take output from different PCM subdevices.

But does turning "Smart 5.1" on, mean that mic-in and line-in are always
turned into C/LFE and Back L/R jacks, or is it trying to do some kind of
autodetection of the current thing plugged in?
Also, it is not obvious to me how "Jack detect" comes into this equation
and how they affect the two parameters above...?
