Hi there,

there is also a strange thing with auich since I compiled the kernel 
featuring timecounters. Look at the auich0 rate on this excerpt from dmesg:


timecounter: Timecounter "TSC" frequency 1196183000 Hz quality 800
WARNING: Callback scheduled before sysmon task queue thread present.
timecounter: Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec
timecounter: Timecounter "clockinterrupt" frequency 100 Hz quality 0
timecounter: selected timecounter "TSC" frequency 1196183000 Hz quality 800
auich0: measured ac97 link rate at 8378 Hz, will use 48000 Hz


Normally, it should be around 47 to 48 kHz, as it was before.

The frequency of the TSC counter is correct, though.
