 Hi Jake,
 
 I'm really glad I could help. And don't think you are alone who doesn't 
 understand snd_hda logic easily.
 
 The skeleton is like this:
 
 - each associations should contain only one direction. Either in or just 
 out pins. They are just group of pins to handle together.
 - sequences tell the pins their role within an association. And this is our 
 case: Tell sequence 1 to speakers by default. Then tell sequence 15 to the 
 one with electronic switch (aka. Jack). This tells the codec to mute other 
 pins (speakers in our case), and route the output to this pin if connected.
 
 Congratulations for your customized patch!
 I suggest to test mixerctl. If you see odd things, you can improve the 
 patch if necessary (for example mic jack, etc.).
 
 Cheers,
 
 FeZ
