Hi, 

yep, it is working.

dmesg:
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:06.1[B] -> Link [LAZA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> 
IRQ 11
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:06.1 to 64

however, i'm still getting "No soundcards found..." message when starting 
alsa, but i think this wasn't intention of this patch :)

Pavel

[root at andromeda sound]# /etc/init.d/alsasound start
Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel done
/usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1326: No soundcards found...
