It is a AD1988B

small summary:

 - out of the box 1.0.12_rc1 recognize my chip as a AD1988A rev.2 ->
seems to be wrong.

 - with the "bogus patch" mplayer is working.

 -  Speaker-Test and aplay are "buggy" or not working as i would expect...

 - hp jack does not mute the other speakers

 - normal amarok output is a kind of too center/lfe centric (the winamp
output under windows has a much better sound)

 - i miss a "rear" volume slider in kmix
