I would rather find the real problem. Also, I don't know
how easy it would be to adapt debian unstable.

However I self compile the kernel. It had CONFIG_PREEMPT and 
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL. 

After disabling CONFIG_PREEMPT, I can get rid of that patch
and everything works fine, wait_event_interruptible_timeout
no more gets interrupted.

Also, the problems with replaying Dolby Surround went away, 
for full log messages see my first post:

StartHWFilter error  buf 0b07 0010 012c b96a  ret fffffe00  handle c041

Is it a known fact that these drivers might not work in a
preempting kernel which I simply did not know about? If so, maybe
the drivers should put warnings into syslog?

I can do more tests if you want me to. As a starter, I could
try to enable only CONFIG_PREEMPT but not CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL
