Greetings,
I have a laptop with the es1978 ALSA sound driver built into the kernel.
When I go through a suspend / resume cycle using apm, the sound system
does not recover and loud static comes from the speakers instead of
music / voice / etc. On boot, ALSA works just fine.
One solution appears to be building ALSA as modules and unloading /
reloading them, after a suspend / resume cycle. With 2.4.xx and the OSS
drivers built in, this wasn't an issue.
Now that I've got them built as modules and have a 'sound' script in
/etc/apm/events.d/ that does the loading and unloading I'm happy, but I
figured I'd report the issue anyway.
Chris

as default, the power-management of es1968 is enabled only on a
certain board, namely,
ESS1978 _and_ (vendor == 0x1028 || vendor == 0x1179)
first, please check whether your pci id matches with it.
the behavior can be changed by a module option, use_pm, but it's
missing in the kernel boot parameter (i'll fix this later).
in that case, modify use_pm[] default value from 2 to 1, to force to
use power-management.
