[i8x0] docking station audio-out ceased to work

[Andreas Happe <andy@starseeders.net>]

Hi,
i tried to use the bug tracking system but your MX seems to be not
available (thus I couldn't create an account for submitting).
alsa-project.org seems to be down so my research was very limited.

Problem:
The audio out on my Dell Docking station stopped working somewhere
around 2.6.20-rc?. While the normal headphone (and speaker) output on
the notebook are muted as soon as i attach the speakers to the docking
station's audio out there's no signal on the output.

I can test older kernel versions, but would like to make sure that I'm
testing the right think first.

Hardware in question:
Dell Latitude 610 with a Dell docking station.
