I get sound out of only two speakers with the following default pinouts
on my ATI SB700 when I in fact have a 5.1 setup (works fine in win7):

hdac0: Dumping AFG cad=0 nid=1 pins:

hdac0: wake=0x00000000 unsol=0x00000000 sticky=0x00000000

What are the correct settings to get full 5.1... if it helps I am on
9-CURRENT (i386) w/ ASUS M4A78-EM (AMD3 780H/SB700) with no cards except
for the nvidia 8600gt I have

I don't see problems in your pin configuration. Make sure you have
enabled 5.1/7.1 mixing in vchans using dev.pcm.0.play.vchanformat sysctl.

after playing with it for a while I got all the front speakers to play
but none of the back ones (could this because one of the back ones is
inoprative [the connector is physically broken])

Are you sure you are playing multichannel audio stream? Sound system
doesn't do any up-mixing now. You should try to play, for example, some
video with AC3 or DTS multichannel audio stream with mplayer, specifying
it to do full 5.1 output with `-channels 6` option.
