Got the solution. Following this guide http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6376&start=0 I tried all the snd_hda_intel options related to my sound card. I got front jack working with modprobe snd_hda_intel model=dell-bios (which I then added to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf)
Now the matter is: should it be the right behaviour of linux/alsa, to let the user try all this options after days of googleing? Could we hope to see a well-done self-recognising sound card tool soon? Really thank you, max! I'll also posto the solution to the alsa bug.
