By the way. I do not understand why the driver is in bleeding.
It is exactly the same driver as before: patches 0, 2, 6 are now
patches 0,2,6,7,8. Patch 6 is the new adriver patch and patches 7 and 8
affect only two specific mobo models when the driver is loaded using
non-default options.
It just remaps some pins on two of my sound cards, and will not hurt anybody
