I agree. The inevitability of complexity is unfortunately my Achilles heel.
I based my theory on the following.

This problem is not Fujitsu specific. Analog Devices, Realtek Corp. and other 
chipset manufacturers that use the Intel HDA Codec and PC & Notebook vendors 
are not to blame. Linux users that run in to this problem, use a wide range 
of vendor specific hardware, but have one thing in common, Intel's HDA Codec.

So I concluted that there must be something wrong with the code in alsa. I'm 
no expert but I think some able person should look at the 'hda_codec.c' file 
in the source-code (/alsa-driver/sound/pci/hda/). Call it a hunch............
