Comment (by nevion):

 As mentioned earlier, an intel8x0 driver card (nVidia Corporation CK804
 AC'97 Audio Controller).  I don't think it is creative based at all.  I
 could be wrong though.

 BTW since this fiasco with creative exists as well as possible
 victimization of intel8x0 users, shouldn't there be a way of forcing the
 old behavior of PA such that it just runs on the cards interrupts or
 something instead of trying to be the master controller?  From what I've
 read, it seems that PA wants to take control of everything so the system
 isn't woken up when it doesn't need to be.  While this is certainly a good
 behavior in general, for flakey card/driver combos (which there seems to
 be many of) it seems to screw over the users who have sound that otherwise
 works OK.
