Again, this isn't an ALSA patch.

I've done some checking internally and I'm very suspicous that what's
going on here is actually the masking of some other bug elsewhere in the
system.  Which CPU are the systems you're observing this on using?
There is at least one special case in the current code for GPIO register
readbacks in the PXA AC97 driver code and there have been a number of
interoperabilty issues in that area...
