But basic stuff like speakers and plugging in headphones "just worked" 
with the old driver.  Your new driver may support much, much more 
features, but we've seen an alarming numbers of complaints about basic 
functionality being broken now (with the new driver).

Oh, and I'm not trying to flame your work.  It's great that we have 
someone that takes care of this code, but I just can't help but think 
that this driver should have gone through a few more iterations of 
testing before entering the tree.
