No offense taken. I always encourage honesty in bug reports, even if that means I or my drivers get blown to pieces ;-)
I've had trouble finding test hardware I can play with for debugging, and haven't had time to review ALSA's driver in depth to evaluate the differences. Patches are certainly welcome ;-)
[I need to attack the driver anyway, because I need to add VT8233 support]
