 The reported problem is solved now, in the CVS.

 Anybody using the same hardware should avoid the 1.0.5 driver, IMO. Relevant 
 sources are ac97_codec.c and ac97_patch.c. The problem was related to a mutex 
 deadlock.

yep, sorry, my bad.
the bug hits AC97 codecs with paging, ALC655/658/850 and STAC9758.

There is some risk on the bleeding edge of any software, but I'm very happy to 
say that it's worth to try the 1.0.5a driver if you own that hardware. Once 
the annoying bug has been sorted out, the integrated sound of my Gigabyte 
works very well now. Thanks!

Regards,
Pedro

1.0.5a will be released shortly with this bug-fix.
