    Although it wouldn't have helped with this driver, could you review the
    currently 35 open ALSA bugs in the kernel Bugzilla [1]?

    - Some might first require a question to the submitter whether the
      problem is still present in recent kernels.
    - Some might be problems in other parts of the kernel
      (e.g. ACPI interrupt configuration problems).
    - But some bugs might be bugs still present in recent ALSA.

    The Gentoo people are using a pretty easy and nice way for forwarding
    their bugs to the kernel Bugzilla, that would work the following way for
    forwarding Bugs from the kernel Bugzilla to the ALSA BTS:
    - open a new bug in the ALSA BTS:
      - short description of the issue
      - more information is at
          http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12345
    - add a comment to the kernel Bugzilla (but leave the bug open):
        this bug is now handled at the ALSA BTS at
        https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=23456

    You could also do this the other way round if e.g. a ACPI interrupt
    configuration problem was reported to the ALSA BTS.
