Summary:                    Front and Rear channels swap after first play when
playing Surround40 on au8830
Description: 
The front and rear channels are correct for playing Surround40 only at the
first time after the driver is loaded. 

The front and rear channels (Surround40) always swapped afterward using
speaker-test or xine. 

Playing stereo sound is OK.

There are only 16 SRC on au88x0, this means you can only play 4 instances
of surround40,  8 instances of stereo or 16 instances of mono.

vortex: FATAL: ResManager: resource type x exhausted

0 - dma
1 - src
2 - mixin
3 - mixout

It is quite strange that you get "vortex: FATAL: ResManager: resource type
3 exhausted" since mixout are pre allocated

The driver only dynamically enable the volume control between 32 mixin and
16 mixout on au8830. https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1835

When some of the critical component cannot be created by the driver.

vortex: FATAL: ResManager: resource type 3 exhausted will appear since
snd_vortex_dev_free() assume all component have been created.
