Comment 64 for bug 783582

Hello! I have now talked to upstream about this issue, and my patches have been applied. He also sent a third patch to enable EAPD on playback and disable it afterwards (for best power efficiency). If you can test his patch and confirm that it works, he will apply it to the 3.0 kernel and so it will be fixed in Oneiric. Can you please do that?

Test instructions:
1) Make sure no other workarounds (such as the manual hda-verb, dkms och alsa-drivers)
2) Download and install http://people.canonical.com/~diwic/temp/alsa-hda-dkms-acer3830tg_0.1_all.deb - this is a new version of the package, updated today.
3) Reboot and test.

Thanks!
I'm also attaching upstream's patch for reference.
