Bug#430017: kernel: Recording silence, chipset: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator]

I upgraded both machines to kernel 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686, and sound
now stopped working completely. The same problem happened on both
machines. When rebooted to kernel 2.6.18 the sound output does work.
gnome volume control says:
"No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
Multimedia Systems Selector says:
"Autodetect: Could not open resource for writing."
You can see from my previous mail that snd_cs46xx was loaded as a
module with kernel 2.6.18. After some lengthy investigation it looks
to me as though the driver was dropped for the etchnhalf kernel
release. Am I right? Is there another way to test this?
Thanks.
