The module is correct, its a bug in some of the ad1848 using driver
stuff. In fact all the bugs you describe sound like stuff that has been
fixed already except the Alpha stuff. Please if you are working on sound
work relative to the -ac patches or at least check them before you go bug
hunting - not just to save me work but to save you a lot of work!
