[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#261310: no sound with au8830

[Chris Capoccia]

my system still does not produce any sound.  alsa and my kernel have been
updated, so i have included the current system information from reportbug.

i also noticed that the quote from tty0 (also appears in the syslog) got all
messed up.  it should be:
"vortex: IRQ fifo error"
i did not see any other errors related to the sound system.

i thought it might also be useful to include the output of a few other commands:
