bingo, at least a little bit with Alexander's 20080905 patch.

With hint.hdac.0.config="gpio1" in /boot/device.hints and
hw.snd.default_unit="2" I can use mpg123 to play sound out of the
line-out jack in the back of the unit.

I've tried combinations of gpio0, gpio1, gpio2 and default_unit's of
0,1,2,3 and can't get sound out of the headphone jack on the front of
the machine.

Thanks for the patch and the help understanding what's going on!
