Lack of package maintainer, makes most all discussions about alsa-driver
moot. Or any package lacking a maintainer. :)

I personally want to see some chipset ID's. What exact chips people have
that work, and don't work. Please provide the output of 

lspci -nn

Only care about the line for your sound card. And if yours works or
doesn't and with which driver, in-kernel, or external..

Then we can say grep kenrel driver sources, or etc for that chipset ID,
and go from there :)
