Yes, you're right. The alsa driver with the debug option enabled (full),
an additional message is printed for the module option option
"model=asus":

Sep  7 21:59:39 undertaker kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A]
-> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
Sep  7 21:59:39 undertaker kernel:
ALSA /home/psalazar/build/alsa-driver-1.0.9b/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c:1409: hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC880

However, all would be fine (alsamixer, aplay, ...) unless there is no
sound.

Just for experience, the "model=test" gives the following message:

Sep  7 22:03:18 undertaker kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A]
-> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
Sep  7 22:03:18 undertaker kernel:
ALSA /home/psalazar/build/alsa-driver-1.0.9b/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1555:
hda_codec: model 'test' is selected

Everything else is equal: no sound.

As you advised, I report it as a bug:
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1402
There are plenty of similar problems for hda-intel... :-( let's see.

My sincerely thanks for all your help. :-)
