The problem is that I don't have a reliable way to trigger this bug. It
just happens sometimes.

I just saw another, major problem: line in doesn't work anymore with
2.6.29 and also 2.6.30-rc3 (no usable input level). It works with
2.6.27.20.

So it seems that all newer kernels are pretty broken on this hardware
regarding sound.
