Summary:                    Abit AV8 entry required for programs that do not use
48k (Fix inside)
Description: 
For programs such as Doom 3 or aplay (that use 41k channels)...This card in
it's current state of only accepting 48k streams is not working out for
these type programs. Adding the following to the whitelist[] in via82xx.c
resolves this problem:

{ .vendor = 0x147b, .device = 0x1415, .action = VIA_DXS_NO_VRA }, /* Abit
AV8 */

I have have fully tested this. I also ran using VIA_DXS_ENABLE, but it
causes a hiss in the sound. So this works the best. Without this users
whould just have to know to set "dxs_support=4"...I think it's best this
be in the driver.

Below is lspci output:

Is anyone paying attention to this. I would really like to get this fix
into the next alsa release. It's a simple cut and paste. After a while now
, I have apps working that didn't work at first....this is needed for the
card integrated on this board. Don't let this EASY fix just fall through
the cracks.

Hi, 
  Could someone just close my easy fix for the vi82xx driver and Abit AV8.
I see noone seems to care. So could you please close it, so I don't have
to see it anymore. Or you could hmmmmm...add the fix!!
