I don't think that anything has changed in the driver between 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 that would affect this. That PCMCIA card can rather easily hang the machine due to it's design, but removing the PCMCIA card during the hang should release the hang state and the PC should continue. There was one case where it would continue to hang, but I believe I fixed that.
In the hope that it helps, the initialization of the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook still succeeds on my laptop, but it does seem noisier then usual lately (this writing to ADC failed message): Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14 (Thu May 31 09:03:25 2007 UTC).

Please tell me the output of the above two cat commands, and I will then have a better idea of what the problem is.

This is a ThinkPad X41.
Also, I would like to say that although this card works on an x86 laptop, it has severe difficulties in a PowerBook. In that machine it can not be hotplugged, and needs to be inserted before powerup, and removal with the power on results in a kernel oops.
Before I forget, this is on vanilla: Linux deep-blue 2.6.22-rc5 #1 Sun Jun 17 23:23:55 BST 2007 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
If I can help by giving you more information, let me know.
