Managed to work out how to repatch ALSA when needed (eg. when the kernel is updated).
Instructions for doing so are as follows:
* download alsa-driver-1.0.16 source and extract
* download this patch and extract to alsa-driver-1.0.16/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/
* configure by running "sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes", then 'sudo make' and 'sudo make install'
* run "sudo cp /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/"
* if you haven't done it yet already, be sure to add "options snd-hda-intel model=mitac" to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
