Subject: stable review patch - ALSA ALC800 codec

This fixes an apparent copy and paste bug that has really been causing
problems for a lot of users. It closes ~10 different ALSA bug reports,
see #1563 for example. Please apply ASAP for -stable.

Lee

This patch is to fix the problem of calculating the nid incorrectly when
auto-probe for ALC880. The problem to be fixed often behaves with such
words when using dmesg, 'num_steps = 0 for NID=0x8' when auto-probe for
ALC880.

The patch contains:
- alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c: replace 'alc880_dac_to_idx' with
'alc880_idx_to_dac' in function 'alc880_auto_fill_dac_nids()'

Please resend when this is fixed in Linus' tree. Also, some patch
nitpicks...make sure to add From: line to first line of changelog
comments to keep proper authorship when you are forwarding someone
else's patch, and make sure it applies to kernel tree please
(s/alsa-kernel/sound/ for example).

thanks,
