If you can build the kernel by yourself, and you already find that 2.6.31-rc5 works as is, I recommend you to bisect the kernel tree. As mentioned, the commits to bisect are only for sound/pci/hda directory, and there aren't so many. You can just rebuild the module with "make M=sound/pci/hda" during bisecting.
