Conexant codec with ID 0x30 - this is AMC97 codec (audio + modem in one
codec) - maybe there is fight between sound and modem driver. On intel
this codec works ok - audio part. Modem part is not working and
snd-intel8x0m have to be in blacklist (otherways audio is not working)
- maybe same problem with ati.

Try to add snd-atiixp-modem to /etc/hotplug/blacklist

 Well I'll be...

 I'd assumed from the (confusing) messages that the sound card was
not working, but it seems fine.  Shouldn't the error messages from
atiixp-modem be prefixed with that name instead of "atiixp"?

Untested patch follows.

This should be applied IMO.  Can we get it in CVS?
