Ok, Guess I'm it then.

At any rate, I've been studying the changes that Medion made, and I
think I have a better solution to merging.  It appears that they pulled
patches that suited them, leaving others out (figures).  Some of their
patches are already in the mainstream.  The easiest way to get this
working is to create new configurations under ALC883 (I'm thinking
ALC883_TEST and ALC883_MEDION).  I should have something tonight or
tomorrow for testing.
