no, as long as you compile alsa-driver externally from alsa-driver
package, you don't have to apply a patch to the kernel.

the patch was already in cvs.  but i'm not sure whether it was already
fixed on rc2.  please try the cvs version.
you'll need to update alsa-lib, too, if you use the cvs drivers.

i could help for general fixes but such a hardware specific problem is
difficult to handle without the card in hands...

perhaps Massimo, the original author of opti9x drivers, can help
