Windows have *.INI files so that they can ignore broken BIOS. Or in other way round - due to this, the hardware vendors never ship the correct BIOS! I have patches to make some stuff dynamically re-configurable, e.g. overriding the default pin-config or additional verbs together with some hints to the parser, which can be set up via udev etc. You can see it on my git tree http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-unstable-2.6.git;a=summary Takashi
