sound static on VIA 8233 southbridge using ALSA drivers

Kernel: 2.6 test1 and test2

using the 8233 ALSA drivers a lot of static can be heard, replacing the ALSA drivers by the VT82Cxxx OSS driver fixes the static problem.

Bus 0, device 17, function 5:
Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, In VT8233 AC97 Audio Co
(rev 80).
IRQ 11.
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd8ff].

Is there any existing patch/solution for this problem? (please CC answer as I am not subscribed to lkml).
