Hi! I managed to fix the problem with the VIA 82xx chipset on the Amilo La1703 Laptop from Fujitsu Siemens.
I stumbled across the Gentoo Wiki with info on how to compile a kernel with ALSA support and they mentioned there that there was a kernel branch called Zen, that have proved useful with HDA Intel problems. I thought Id share the links with the nice ppl on the ALSA user list in hopes that it might solve someone else's problems with VIA and HDA Intel.
