This version looks interesting... Unfortunately, it causes my laptop to
hang on boot.  hdac seems to load just fine, and it gets down to where
it probes the cd and hangs right before mounting disks.  I know it isn't
much to go on, but maybe its frobbing around in acpi or something?  I
let it sit there for a few minutes and it eventually claimed that it
timed out accessing my battery...

Anyway, good work, it looks great from what I can see so far.
