   My way to work around is to disable thinlinc sound system detection, 
   whose default is 'auto'

I don't get sound with this approach on the HP t5745 and t610 using the
HP-supplied image T6X43202.  Unfortunately, the workaround I suggested
works on the t5745 but not the t610.  For the 610, image T6X41019
works.  These are similar 2.6 kernels, but audio is handled differently.

The older image works with your suggested workaround.  The 610 shows two
audio devices, and the HP mixer shows this slightly differently between
images.  The working image doesn't run pulse and uses "HD Audio
Generic".
