Comment 2 for bug 1283168

Observations when investigated with the HDA Analyzer (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/HDA_Analyzer)

What happened:

1. reloaded the snd-hda-intel driver
2. started the HDA Analyzer in monitor mode.
3. started the VLC and started playing clip => speakers still produce sound
- The analyzer produced output that is in attached hda-analyzer-speakers-ok.txt .
4. After couple of seconds (not more then a minute) the sound stopped working.
The HDA Analyzer produced this interresting output:

This convinces me more that the problem is related to the one I mentioned in the report.
