Good catch! Fixed.

I guess it doesn't matter much. All pins get set to D3 afterwards
anyway, so as long as this implementation does not cause regressions
anywhere, I'll try this first out of simplicity.

I don't think this is a bug. The 0x17 node is not used because there is
a more direct path ( 0x19 -> 0x10 instead of 0x19 -> 0x17 -> 0x10 ). In
some codecs, not using the mixer node gives slightly better audio
quality, so therefore we use this strategy by default.

Is it causing any practical problems for you?

When you move the slider in the GUI, that in turns modifies sliders at
the ALSA level. As far as I can see, this corresponds to a "Speaker" and
a "Master" slider, or "Headphones" and "Master" if you have headphones
plugged in. Start "alsamixer" in a terminal. (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/Alsamixer for keys you can use.) Fiddle
around with this, i e, move the slider in the sound settings GUI and see
the alsamixer GUI bars moving. Or change things in the alsamixer GUI and
notice what results it has on the actual output volume.

It seems to me like either of the "Speaker" or "Master" sliders are not
working properly, or maybe "Headphones" control Speakers or something
otherwise strange here. Maybe you can figure it out?

Title:
  [Thinkpad R61i/T61] Lenovo sound chip Conexant CX20549 Venice doesn't
  work correctly.

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Computer: IBM Lenovo Thinkpad R61i
  Card: HDA Intel
  Sound chip: Conexant CX20549 (Venice)
  Device: 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) 
HD Audio Controller [8086:284b] (rev 03)
   Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad T61 [17aa:20ac]
  System: Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 (desktop-i386)
  Kernel: 3.0.0-12-generic-pae#20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 16:37:17 UTC 2011

  Problems:
  1) Integrated microphone doesn't work at all because the driver uses node 
0x14 instead of 0x15 for integrated mic and node 0x12 instead of 0x14 for 
external mic.
  2) Sound output is muted in the "0% <-> unamplified" part of the volume 
slider and is working in the "unamplified <-> 100% ->" part only; the driver 
doesn't allow amplified part because sound is distorted over 0dB of the PCM 
level so there is no need amplified part of the volume slider.

  Solution: Attached patch is fixing nodes of integrated and external 
microphone and is removing the amplified part of the volume slider.
