Hi Frederic,
thank you for sharing your approach and script.
It helped me to solve a problem with my ALC3234 (Dell Optiplex 3040 Micro). The analog output format was limited to 44.1kHz/48kHz after direct linux boot. With a previous Windows boot, additional 96kHz/192kHz are available.

I will attach the adapted script, that works for me. May be it helps someone.
