Takashi, thanks for these corrections! 

It'd be great to see yet more reports about successes, failures, suspected
problems, etc, etc concerning different soundcards and chipsets on 
alsa-user (and other lists)! It's much easier to make purchasing decisions
if you know that at least someone has had success with the 
desktop/laptop/soundcard model (and not just the chipset!) you're about to 
choose.

How is it different...? And do you happen to remember what notebooks 
(brand, possibly any IBM models)?

Ugh, not good. Thanks for the clarification!
