ALC260 no sound output on Kernel 2.6.17.1

[Barry Scott <barry.scott@onelan.co.uk>]

I an running FC5's 2.6.17.1 with one extra patch to fix a boot problem 
with MMCONFIG.

I cannot get any sound output.
The last version that I know to work is 2.6.13.
I was told that 2.6.17 should have fixed the regression, but it has not.

How can I help get this fixed? I'm happy to patch and build kernels modules
and test.
