It dawned on me that this behavior is nearly identical to what I saw w/the
nvidia driver on my prior frontend w/o UseEvents...

Got this working fine last night. Seems the alsa 1.0.13 code in 2.6.20 doesn't
quite get this right. I'm using alsa 1.0.14-rc3 now, and everything works
perfectly.

Going to see if I can't build the appleir module as an out-of-tree,
stand-alone kernel module, rather than building a patched kernel...

About to start prodding one of our X guys...

FSBO! (maybe)

Odd. I had my internal speaker playing audio if I flipped the "use input for
output" toggle (or whatever it was) in alsamixer, but digital audio wasn't
working at the time. At that point, I only got either digital audio
passthrough to the amp, or analog audio out the internal speaker. All better
now with the latest alsa bits though.
