FWIW, I too was having this kind of problem.  When I starting living
on 2.4.x kernels the problem went away.  Also gone were sound dropping
out when I busied my machine with compiles things.

Of course, I'm omitting the irrelevant detail of the absence of the
pci_enable_dev() call 2.4.0-testX where X<12 which caused the driver
to not work at all.
