I see no relevant commits regarding HD-audio (at least for ALC889)
between these two points except for "Make converter setups sticky".
And, the fact that /dev/audio works implies that the PCM stream works
basically.  So, I have no idea for now.  It might be outside the sound
stack.

I'll try the latest tree on my machine whether I can reproduce the
problem.
