Your device seems to stop because the azalia pci host stops (probably interrupts stop and a reboot is needed), while this diff is about the azalia codec (i.e. about handling the "analog" parts). So, I'm very surprised this fixes the random audio hangs (though any strange interaction between the host and the codec can't be excluded). Are there other changes that may have fixed audio? Any BIOS tweaks? Suspend-resume cycles? Any devices disabled meanwhile? Could you test with and without the diff applied in exactly the same conditions? These hangs are a longstanding problem (and hard to debug because of the randomness of the hangs), so I'm very intested in understanding what's causing it. Thanks
