Now I found something interesting about this bug. The bug seems to be
purely an ubuntu introduced bug, because it i fixed with the current
alsa. This bug was actually fixed in alsa around the 7th of March (bug
report along with the patch is here: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org
/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3800 ). I have looked in the ubuntu packaged ALSA
sources, and diffed them against a recent mercurial snapshot of alsa-
driver (2008-05-02), and it seems that the patch has been incorported
into the ubuntu packaged alsa sources already.

However the fix doesn't work for the ubuntu packaged alsa driver. It
works great on my alsa snapshot though. So this bug has probably been
introduced by ubuntu at some point, or there is something missing in the
ubuntu that makes the upstream fix inefficient.

The fix as described in alsa bug report was to add a new model for the ALC883 
codec. The new model name is pi2515. Adding the line 
options snd-hda-intel model=fujitsu-pi2515 
at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base is supposed to fix the problem. It does 
fix the problem when alsa is manually compiled and installed, but doesn't fix 
it with the ubuntu packaged alsa driver.
