Does this happen with 2.6.38 kernel, too?

I have not tried yet, do you have reason to think it may have changed since 2.6.32?

Lots of changes since 2.6.32. I won't be surprised if any of them hits.

Can I build just the sound driver without replacing the whole kernel?

You can try alsa-driver tarball.

Unfortunately, I can confirm that stock 2.6.38 does NOT resolve the pops on suspend and resume.

I was able to build a driver from the alsa-driver tarball, but it refused to load on the Ubuntu 2.6.32 kernel due to unresolved symbols for reasons unknown.

Cheers, Chris.
