[ltp] Patch for ALSA sound driver for CS4236+ (update!)

[Thomas Hood]

Breaking news: ALSA has just released version 0.5.8
of the ALSA drivers, libraries and utilities.  Here
is the release note:
   Stable packages 0.5.8 were released. Two new
   drivers were added: the C-Media CMI8338
   and 8738 PCI driver and the Yamaha YMF72x
   74x,75x driver. Also, APM is supported for
   CS4231 & CS4235,6,7,8,9 chips. Otherwise,
   this release contains mostly bug-fixes
   backported from the ALSA development tree
   including the support for latest Linux kernels.
   Affected drivers: AZT2320, CMI8330, CS4236,
   ESS ES18xx, InterWave (GUS PnP), Opti
   92x, Sound Blaster 16, AD1816A. Upgrade is
   recommended for all soundcards. 

This release obsoletes my patch ( http://panopticon.csustan.edu/thood/alsapatchhome.html )
for the 0.5.7 drivers adding APM support.  My patch may still be
useful to you if, e.g., you are using the Debian woody source
code package for 0.5.7.  But the 0.5.8 package should come out
pretty quickly.  Everyone else with a CS4231+ chip should
upgrade to ALSA 0.5.8 .
