Yes, I had added this option after a regression in the previous kernel
which causes the hd-audio thread to take 50% of a CPU. Eventually, it
was fixed and not needed anymore. So I guess in the case of my laptop,
this is not really a regression, because everything is fine with the
default values.

In the case of Frank, this looks more like a regression, or at least a
bug to solve, because this happens with the default options. However,
this report should be taken with care, because this happens on a
2.6.33.2 kernel made by Mandriva, containing many alsa patches of
2.6.34. Frank, how possible would it be to test a 2.6.34-rc4 kernel from
Linus?

If this bug is confirmed, Takashi, do you know any way to choose
automatically position_fix=1 when needed?

See you,
Eric
