Hi Takashi,
I just got another position_fix=1 report for the same vendor/deviceID [1] as I sent you the other day, and I assume Eric Piel (a month ago on this list) have the same chipset as well, although I cannot see his alsa-info. I think you have it, can you verify?
You can find it in https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/18/54 Yes, the controller is same. Just a different SSID.
So...can we consider quirking the entire chip to use LPIB, like in the attached patch (untested)?
I guess this would be good. A question is whether to put this into 3.2 or 3.3. I think it can be put to 3.2-rc6, although it's a bit late. Changing to LPIB is basically harmless.
If so I'll send another patch later to remove existing quirks for this chipset.
Thanks.
Takashi

Several people with this chipset have reported inconsistent/sloppy values for position reporting when the DMA position buffer is used, and that setting position_fix=1 have fixed their problems.
