	Hello,

  I've tested it with a 2.6.32 Linux kernel on a Thinkpad X31, and it
works well : I have a new ALSA "card" (strangely numbered 5, whereas
the ICH4 card has index 0 and ICH4 modem has index 1), and looking at
the level with alsamixer when playing with sound keys gave me a
correct feedback…

	Fred.
