git-alsa.patch breaks audio on my laptop, worked fine in -rc3-mm1.  Almost
certainly bustification in the Intel HDA rewrite.

Symptoms:  alsamixer finds the chipset, can adjust the volumes and mute/unmute,
and /usr/bin/play is able to write a .wav to the ALSA device without complaint.
However, no sound actually comes out.  Very "lights are on but nobody is home".

Dell Latitude D820, lspci reports:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
and alsamixer reports finding a "SigmaTel STAC9200"

(Yes, they look the same to me, too...)

I'd provide more info, if I had a clue what else to add...
