Beginning with next-20080612 i've got no sound!

git bisect told me that, the offending commit is cbc5a5b7d12b4d461bff132f76abc0d4f9f3d8fc (ALSA: hda - Add bdl_pos_adj option):

I need to add the option bdl_pos_adj=0, to make sound work again, which gives this dmesg entry:

[   64.697747] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.

The sound card is:

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xfbff0000 irq 21


$ /sbin/lspci -vv -s 00:06.1

What makes me wonder is, that the commit says:
"    The new option adds the size of the delay in frames.  As default,
    it's set to 1 -- that is, one sample delay.  Even the hardware is
    really correct, one sample delay is relatively harmless in comparison
    with reporting wrong positions."

Maybe my definition of "harmless" is not "no sound".

Would you please check this problem?
