Well, you must be right. Using the irqpoll boot option,
the sound is correct, and I see four IRQ 20 per second
(and none when there is no sound).

1) Can you confirm an expected IRQ every 250ms ?

The APIC routes PCI INT B to IRQ 22, and alsa is
expecting IRQ 22. Now I have to get alsa to expect
IRQ 20 or get APIC to route an appropriate PCI INT
to IRQ 22....

2) Now I get a warning "hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround
 is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj."

What is the range of values I should try ?
