Ok, cool.  Here's my favorite kernel for the moment:

 v3.2.21 + patches 1-10 from http://bugs.debian.org/664767#99

This would help us check Arend's hunch that patches mentioning 'mute'
could have taken care of it.

Instructions for building:

  # get kernel history if you don't already have it:
  git clone git://...

  # fetch latest point releases:
  git remote add stable \
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
  git fetch stable

  # check out 3.2.21:
  git checkout stable/linux-3.2.y
  git reset --hard
  git am -3sc $(ls -1 /path/to/patches/00{0[1-9],10}-*)

  # configure:
  make silentoldconfig
  scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO
  make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration

  # build, test:
  make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
  dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
  reboot

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
