As David already pointed out to me, the proper fix for the issue is Takashi's commit 75e0eb24ee3ec3549c2e53707dcc87e5f7a2c791, but that hasn't made it into .36 RCs and thus seem unlikely to come to users anytime soon. David's patch is a "band aid" solution; it solves most of the problem by adding one more special case to the sigmatel patches; on the other hand it makes the internal microphone to work fine on my laptop, which is a good thing, right? Anyway, if this can be considered for .36 or for some stable branch (*looks toward Greg hoping for pity*), it would probably make me (and other owners of such laptops) probably very happy. Especially given that we have enough trouble with a non-working SDHCI and a not-yet-supported Alps touchpad/trackpoint combination. Thanks in advance, whatever the outcome, -- Diego Elio Pettenò
