isapnp_verbose=2 doesn't produce more output, i've even inserted a printk
line into isapnp_init() to make sure the variable setting in
/etc/modules.conf actually worked...
if i understand the code correctly, the variable ist set to 1 by default
and would have listed all cards found anyway.

Mar 31 01:16:36 moonbow kernel: isapnp: isapnp_verbose=2 [rj]
Mar 31 01:16:36 moonbow kernel: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
Mar 31 01:16:36 moonbow kernel: isapnp: No Plug & Play device found

the pnpdump output is appended.
the line i inserted into
/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/cards/card-ad1816a.c is

        ISAPNP_AD1816A('L','W','C',0x1060,'A','D','S',0x7180,0x7181),

(but it made no difference).

any suggestions?
