Peter took the thread off the mailing lists.

3.5-rc3 + Peter's blaze.aconf + aplay produces no audio but aplay
appears to complete in about the right time.

3.5-rc3 + Peter's blaze.aconf + aplay + sound/soc/omap reverted back to
v3.4 produces audio.

I have nothing further, other than "it produces no audio".  As I have
zero information on the SDP4430 hardware, if something doesn't work I
just stop and post a bug report.  I've no idea of the structure of the
audio implementations on OMAP platforms.  That information is kept from
me.

I suspect the key difference is I run the uImage kernels on the SDP4430
without a DT blob.  I suspect it's the DT conversion of sound/soc/omap
that's buggered it up.
