I've confirmed that the patch tiwai posted at http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2012-July/053601.html resolves the bug, for my VPCZ11 anyhow: sound through the internal speaker works as it did prior to 3.2, and sound still works through the headphone socket, auto-muting the speakers when connected. I couldn't test anything to do with external mic/headset, though.
You have to re-diff the patch somewhat to apply against anything older than the current kernel 'sound' branch, but it's easy enough to do. I tested it against 3.5.0.
