3.2.0-rc7 alsa-info shows that the headphone jack is plugged, thus the
speaker is muted. It's natural that the noise goes away in this
state.
Apart from that, I see no obvious problem in 3.2.0 output.
Does the problem still happen when you disable "Auto-Mute Mode" mixer
enum?
% amixer -c0 set "Auto-Mute Mode" "Disabled"
Also, try to pass algin_buffer_size=0 option to snd-hda-intel.
I don't expect much that this will influence, but at least, it's a
difference between 3.0 and 3.2.
