Looking through the current patch_conexant.c, there are other messy
codes there, too.  So I cleaned up and fixed it on sound git tree
now.  Any chance to try it out?  The GIT tree is found at:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git

and the snapshot tarball for external alsa-driver module build is
