Comment 56 for bug 39414

It does work on vanilla 2.6.24.3 in the sense that it doesn't crash the system, but it also occasionally generates white noise instead of the correct audio. If somebody thinks it's useful, I could bisect between the vanilla and hardy kernels to find what change in combination with the patch causes the oops.

But if the static issue doesn't get solved in time, I think the best option is to disable eSCO entirely. I have a one-line patch that does this, and it works on Hardy without crashing or causing static.
