I'll be trying that just a little later today, as in, sometime in the
next half hour or so.

I don't have either of the two files mentioned above. As far as the alsa
userland, I would think it's all "reasonably" current. I'm running Debian
"Etch" fully patched/updated. I'll normally refrain from running things
in the "unstable" or "experimental" categories unless something is broken
in the "stable" tree that isn't getting fixed (e.g., a libc problem).
Beyond that, I also tend to run the latest kernels to make sure we (the
community) get an early warning if there are problems with kernel
updates/changes on the Alpha architecture. Because it's a reasonably
small list, here is the relevant "dpkg -l" output for alsa packages:

Reported on the results of the various "sox" tests in that article last
night.
For all of the above, I need to mention I am/was running an unpatched
2.6.25-rc7 kernel. "cat /proc/interrupts" shows absolutely no interrupt
activity for the ES1888. Here's the current and complete output for an
uptime of 1 day, 14:14:

2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 1 XT-PIC serial
5: 0 XT-PIC +ES18xx
8: 140919958 RTC +timer
12: 13965 XT-PIC i8042
14: 1231903 XT-PIC ide0
18: 0 PYXIS halt-switch

Ok. Let me boot on the kernel with the "miata_no_mmap" patch and give
that a spin. I'll report back shortly.
