I got this to work (Ubuntu 10.04), but I am not sure what I did that made the difference.

I did add a file /etc/modprobe.d/sound which contained

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m22 enable=1 index=0
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

this did not seem to work right away.

I also ran

sudo alsactl store
edited /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
sudo alsactl restore

but I don't think the change I made was correct (I turned on the NVIDIA device by mistake) -- I think the subsequent reboot was the key step. I wish I could be sure -- it is possible that simply running alsactl fixed something that was missing.

In any case, IEC958 starting appearing as one of the profiles in the sound preferences.

I also started installing hidpoint, but it would not install because my kernel was too new, so again, I don't think this was it, either.
