This implies there may be bugs that are fixed in the later version.  Another idea would be to use one of the newer kernels that are currently in Rawhide to see if that fixes it.

You do not need newer alsa, nor Rawhide kernels.  It works with FC2 
released updates as of 2 weeks ago.  You just have to configure 
modprobe.conf correctly yourself because the hardware is not detected by 
system-config-sound.  And the snd-cs4236 module will not work with 
Thinkpad 600 with default options.  You have to configure the options 
correctly for it to load, per my earlier post.
