Here I send the two also-info files as attachments.

Initial problem was:
Under kernel 2.6.30, Sound is working, but has constant clicking noise in
the background, also if the sound is completely muted.
First I thought this sound would come from some hdd or whatever, but the
device has no mechanical parts. But this is what it sounds like - Irregular
clicking noise.

This noise immediately starts during boot up as soon as the module is loaded
and before X11 has started.
I already tried options like "position_fix=1 or 2" and different
"model="-options with no success.
"position_fix" didn't do anything at all and different model-options have
muted the device completely.

Kernel 2.6.24 with the same files has no issues.

Then give as attachments later (and don't forget Cc to alsa-devel ML)
these two files, not URL.  It's important because ML is archived
while pastebin can be removed at any time.
