[Openvortex-dev] Some strange problems using au8830

[Olivier Brunet]

I've juste Installed your alsa-driver release from CVS on my Dell Dimension 
(turtle Beach Montego II OEM, Vortex2) running a new gentoo.

The beast seems to work, but as time pass the sound become a little bit 
distorded or saturated. Is this a known problem ? Can I help in some way ?

Here is what my dmesg gives if it can helps:
