...until now.
i just permutated pnpdump's output and one combination actually works:

  modprobe ad1816 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=3

strange that the io port is so much different.
and that's the kernel's driver, but the alsa driver is more demanding,
it wants two more ports and one more IRQ.

perhaps i better stop with what i've got now, "if it ain't broke, don't
fix it"...

thanks for listening!
(and i'll keep using the alsa driver on the laptop. :-)
