There are some control switchs affecting to the speaker connections:
"Line-In As Rear" - As mentioned above, the line-in jack is used
for the rear (3th and 4th channels) output.
"Line-In As Bass" - The line-in jack is used for the bass (5th
and 6th channels) output.
"Mic As Center/LFE" - The mic jack is used for the bass output.
If this switch is on, you cannot use a microphone as a capture
source, of course.
"Line-In Mode" - an enum control to change the behavior of line-in
jack. Either "Line-In", "Rear Output" or "Bass Output" can
be selected. The last item is available only with model 039
or newer.
When "Rear Output" is chosen, the surround channels 3 and 4
are output to line-in jack.
"Mic-In Mode" - an enum control to change the behavior of mic-in
jack. Either "Mic-In" or "Center/LFE Output" can be
selected.
When "Center/LFE Output" is chosen, the center and bass
channels (channels 5 and 6) are output to mic-in jack.

The MPU401-UART interface is disabled as default. You need to set

Joystick and Modem

The joystick and modem should be available by enabling the control
switch "Joystick" and "Modem" respectively. But I myself have never
tested them yet.
The legacy joystick is supported. To enable the joystick support, pass
joystick_port=1 module option. The value 1 means the auto-detection.
If the auto-detection fails, try to pass the exact I/O address.
The modem is enabled dynamically via a card control switch "Modem".
