This compare isn't really helpful because you have never had sound 
working on the 25 version of the kernel.
Normally this would have run in the other direction as .3 is after -14 
in the way kernels are labeled, so you are comparing the later as the 
earlier which makes it harder to read.  Also, it is nice to use -up as 
options to diff so functions and context are included.

The driver here is a later version, the full 1.0.16 instead of the rc3 
beta for 1.0.16 in your Fedora.  In both cases alsa recognized the 
soundcard as Codec: SigmaTel STAC9228, so I don't think that is your 
problem.  The other thing that is different is the kernel.  It crosses 
major release lines, from 24 to 25.  So this could be either the kernel 
or the driver.  Your first step should be to upgrade to the latest 
drivers and library from the HG repository.  If you still have no sound, 
but the card is recognized and the driver is loaded I think this is a 
kernel issue.  That is where I would open the bugzilla.
