I guess it's a problem with 2.6.17 kernel.  Maybe the wrapper for the
new kernel API in alsa-driver tree is somehow broken.  Check compiler
warnings especially for the compilation of hda_codec.c, too.

I didn't get oops, at least.  Tthere was another bug that got fixed 
today, so please update to the latest version from
hg.alsa-project.org (not from hg-mirror).
