Hi Takashi,

first of all, thank you for developing this driver.
I tested it today. It works, so far.

But two annoying things. As you mentioned, I got problems, if the 
onboard sound modules are loaded. Then i get no sound out auf my xfi.
If I disable the loading of snd-hda-intel modules while booting, then it 
works.

The second problem is, that SIDE and SURROUND connectors are 
interchanged. I'm absolutly sure, it works fine under windows and the 
connector colors are also correct.

If I run speaker-test -c8 the SIDE Speakers sounds come out of my REAR 
(SURROUND) Speakers, while nothing is coming out of my rear speakers, if 
i'm using speaker-test -c6
