They'll find it, iardon. Oracle's point is much the same as mine (albeit with much greater detail since he's apparently spent some quality time under the hood of the Cirrus 49300 and 49400 chips) - this bug is not necessarily easily reproduced (if it were, it would be happening to everybody), so details on how it is reproduced for the folks who do experience it is key to fixing it.

Oracle, it's not entirely clear from your post, but I take it you aren't directly associated with Outlaw or the 970 development itself (aside from owning one yourself) - you're just offering your suggestions for zeroing in on the problem based on experience with the Cirrus DSP's. Am I right? Either way, that's a great test procedure you've outlined.
