No I don't know if this chip works in linux.
But this is a common problem that pops up from time to time
in different audio drivers, nothing chip/hw specific.
I suspect that driver writers forget that the device should "reset"/be able to
accept new format settings after a 
SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC or SNDCTL_DSP_RESET ioctl,
and not just after a new open of the audio device.
