This time I did apply your patch building the debian binary packages
(because I wanted the original debian config and also the same kernel
I was testing on before, just with your patch applied)
... which took too long and then I was leaving to Paris until today.

Unfortunately I was not being able to make the sound come through the 
speakers yet.
I probably must have missed something :/

How can I make sure that the version I am using contains your patch ?
How can I make sure that your patch is active / being used ?
     I tried the hints file (see below) or can I pass this also as 
module parameter ?

So here is what I got:

=================================================
KERNEL: SMP Debian 3.9.6-1~bpo70+1 x86_64 GNU/Linux with your patch

Tested in single user mode.
