Bug Description

4 improvements to the ALC262_FUJITSU model have been made past 2.6.24 and as such are not in Hardy Heron. Only the functionality of the first patch (model autoselect through a quirk table entry) can be enabled in a stock Heron installation (by editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base).
These patches will likely apply without manual editing effort on your 2.6.24 base kernel.

To expand this bug report a little, this is a suggestion to backport changes to snd-hda-intel that improve the support of the Realtek ALC262 codec as used in Fujitsu Lifebook E & S series laptops (specifically ICH8-based machines such as the S6410 & E8410).
These should apply with minimal fuzz on top of the 2.6.24 kernels you are using for Hardy Heron. Please apply in the order listed:

Using the ALC262_FUJITSU model automatically with a quirk table entry:

Enabling use of the docking station headphone port:

Enabling use of the 'beeper' aka PC Speaker signal:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=06a9c30cdda43ca82d7f22c8ebeb93e691f85b5f

Checking the initial jack state, to avoid having both the speaker & headphones on simultaneously:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=ebc7a406633acefc6d12c1ccc9441bfef69e0f33

These have all made it into the upstream 2.6.25 (first 3) and 2.6.26-rc3 (last patch) kernels with no bug reports on the alsa-devel mailing list.
