On the eeepc 900, amixer does NOT have "LineOut" or "Line-Out" or "iSpeaker" 
or "Speaker". It only shows "PCM" for master volume control and "Headphone" 
as a switch that can be used to mute the device. Of course, I cannot verify 
whether this works as I am using Lenny/KDE and this still doesn't have sound 
working.
