Pac, it looks like you need to modify patch_realtek.c to support the automatic creation of non-zero index slave controls similar to what Takashi did in sound-2.6.git commit 668b9652be33510a2a42b290dd335d34d38e2068 for patch_sigmatel.c.
(Also lowering importance due to probe_mask=1 workaround)
Bryce, your patches are upstreamed.
