Same here with a completely different sound chip: (it works on Windows
2k *g*)

pcm0_at_pci0:6:0:  class=0x040100 card=0x0f221019 chip=0x545110b9 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Acer Labs Incorporated (ALi)'
    device   = 'ALI M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = audio

The driver attached is t4dwave.ko. This is on a Transmeta laptop running
5.2.1-RELEASE. The only other oddity on this laptop is:

...
usb0: 1 scheduling overruns
usb2: 1 scheduling overruns
usb0: 1 scheduling overruns
usb1: 1 scheduling overruns
usb2: 1 scheduling overruns
usb1: 1 scheduling overruns
usb0: 1 scheduling overruns
...

May this be related? Or is this anything to worry about?
