I'm really trying hard to understand. The original source says that

	ass = codec->subsystem_id & 0xffff;

Masking out the lower 16bit of codecs subsytem-id in my case ass would 
be 11eb

	if ((ass != codec->bus->pci->subsystem_device) && (ass & 1))

comparing ((11eb !=  11eb) would fail so the whole if-construct fails 
and we don't do the next line that is

		goto do_sku;

Instead we complain about an invalid subsystem-id...?

Really, that is somewhat difficult to understand. Why is the subsystem 
ID that I find in /proc/asound/card0/codec#2 and that matches the 
subsystem device that I can see with 'lspci -vn' invalid???

What stuff do I need to take to understand this? ;-)
