Glad it's working for you. The hacking was very simple, really. No coding required.
First, I found a proper codec dump for an ALC889 - not an 885 (someone on a linux board had posted it). Next, I simply used Taruga's HDA Patcher version 1.20 with it to get the channels working. Then, I noodled around inside the AppleHDA kext package for the strings that describe the various ports. Turns out it's all in the "localizable.strings" files in the various language subfolders. I sat here with headphones and audio cables figuring out which was which, and put the colors into the English localizable.strings file. Then, I noticed a Plugins folder inside the AppleHDA kext, which contained other kexts. I stuck ALCInject in there, and it all worked perfectly. It's still a separate kext, but it now lives inside the AppleHDA one. Happiness ensues.
See? Nothing earth-shattering or complicated. All just simple, pragmatic thinking.
