Well, assertions are nice, but useless. It's a bug in the kernel module
if it produces completely unexpected results after an option is changed -
if such results are expected, then that expectation needs to be documented
*somewhere*.

The Documentation/sound/alsa/ that I checked was with 2.6.25.4, so, yes,
the problem applies to the current version.

Again with the closure... You really should read the manual regarding
how to deal with bug reports. For example,
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-bug-handling
