To be sure, did you try the latest alsa-driver snapshot (not 1.0.20)?
  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz
There are already many fixes since 1.0.20, so...

Your problem seems not quite as same as the problem stated in this
thread.  But, anyway testing my patch is helpful.


thanks,

Takashi
