I think that the default should be left in the AC97 code and write the
appropriate configuration after snd_ac97_mixer() call when you detect your
hardware and VT1616 codec.

We send data in this order: channel0,1 = front; channel2,3 = rear;
channel4,5 = center/lfe ; if your hardware has swapped some stereo paths,
you need to swap channels in software - see
alsa-lib/src/conf/cards/ICH.conf - ICH.pcm.surround51.0 {} section
I've applied your patch and fixed one missing update in ice1712.h. Also,
the driver id is changed in CVS.
