I have no idea of what the real name of the chip is - I picked 20590 
because 506e is hexadecimal for 20590.

 From your alsa info I can note the following:

1) The node graph is just like the other 506e:s I've seen, and identical 
to the 5066 family. So the 506e patch is correct.

2) Given your pin configurations, you should add either
options snd-hda-intel model=asus
or
options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.
That is, in addition to the 506e patch I sent to alsa-devel.

3) For some reason, parsing has gone wrong on finding the PCI subsystem 
ID. To write a quirk that does model=thinkpad permanently, we'll need 
the PCI subsystem ID for the HDA Intel device.

4) Architecture: Mips64? Never seen HDA Intel connected to anything but 
amd64/i386, but I guess it's possible :-)

Btw, feel free to move this thread to alsa-devel, as we're into ALSA 
level stuff rather than PulseAudio stuff.
