Started having audio problems when trying out the latest tree
(v3.6-rc7-10-g56d27ad). When playing any kind of audio, there was
significant distortion, mostly crackling noise. I'm using a Lenovo
ThinkPad X230 (Panther Point).
I did a git-bisect to locate the problem, and it seems this commit is to
blame:
c20c5a841cbe47f5b7812b57bd25397497e5fbc0 is the first bad commit

ALSA: hda_intel: activate COMBO mode for Intel client chipsets
This patch activates the COMBO position_fix for recent Intel
client chipsets.
COMBO mode is the recommended setting for Intel chipsets and
eliminates HD
audio warnings in dmesg. This patch has been tested on Lynx
Point, Panther
Point, and Cougar Pont.

It's pretty clear-cut. If I revert this patch, my sound starts
functioning normally again.
Any thoughts on how to proceed here? Can someone revert this, or is
there some testing that I can do?
Here's a pretty-printed bisection log, if needed:
