That's rather a stupid bug. The patch is below.

Kernel panic on any attempt to use sound or mixer. Also kernel panic several seconds after Xorg starts. Each crash causes either hang or reboot so I couldn't get any error messages. If there are some logs left, please tell me where they are and I'll send them to you. My card is X-Fi Platinum Fatality Champion Series.
For testing, first try without X but just use Linux console, so that you have a better chance to see Oops messages. It's pretty important to see whether it's an Oops or a panic. Also, double-check whether you really installed the corrected drivers. Often it's missing in the right place by stupid reasons.
For first tests, don't use any sound server. Try with aplay like: % aplay -Dhw foo.wav Try first 96kHz samples, 48kHz samples, and then others.
thanks,
Takashi
