--- Comment #33 from bgunteriv@gmail.com --- Garrett, the part about reverting and patching was actually meant for Peter.
----------------------------------------
Peter,
It sounds like Takashi Iwai (comment #23) is looking to go another direction to fix the problem with the kernel commit (7546abfb8e1f9933b549f05898377e9444ee4cb2), as opposed to just patching it.
hopefully he can shed more light on this subject...
as I said. the patch works... but also reverting the commit on the original kernel also works.
