It was even more simple. I was only thinking that recording was not
working because I could not hear my own voice while speaking in the
headset (what I can hear for example in the EeePC 900 using snd_hda
too); that's why I did not tried the Echo Service of Skype; later on I
did tried it and it records fine from 'mic':

# mixer
Mixer vol      is currently set to  83:83
Mixer pcm      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer speaker  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer mix      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer rec      is currently set to 100:100
Recording source: mic

# dmesg | fgrep pcm
pcm0: <HDA IDT 92HD71B7 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0
pcm1: <HDA IDT 92HD71B7 PCM #1 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0
pcm2: <HDA IDT 92HD71B7 PCM #2 Digital> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0

The last (non blocking) problem is to get support for the Wifi card:
EMEA Intel Pro Wireless WI-FI 5100 (802.11a/g/ Draft-n)
or replace it by some other card (the card is a plug-in card and can be
changed by the user in the laptop).

Thanks for your reply in any case.
