Sorry for asking this on a developer forum, but I'm pretty sure I finally
found the answer here. I had considered the need to wait it out for a kernel
upgrade (beyond 3.12 in Debian Testing/Jessie). I have no sound right now.
How do I apply this patch? When I installed Debian Testing, I installed a
targeted initrd, and I was considering retrying with a generic initrd -
although I think this thread just saved me from that. Will an established
initrd come into play? Will I have to recompile the 3.12 kernel?

The Dell codec alias name is ALC3223.

Thanks
