I have the same issue, even in Gutsy, with my STAC9250 in my Gateway M685 (also known as NX860 or PA6). If I try to arecord, all I get is this, followed by an application hang, then a read error due to timeout:

dana@m685:~$ arecord -fcd
Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
RIFF$�WAVEfmt D��data�

I have pastebin'd the results of alsa-info.sh 0.4.19 ( linux-sound.info server is down, so I can't check for updates).

I have noticed in a BIOS update changelog, "Change audio verb table for Vista DTM test" -- would Gateway's driver INI files (one for Vista, one for XP) be useful?

Note: one interesting fact is that the onboard microphone jack is stereo, and there is no separate line-in jack.
