what made you think this is related to #637620? Thank you for checking
existing bugs but next time it would be better to open a new bug for
that.

Elimar, how do we deal with that report as it supposedly includes two
separate issues now (see below), where one has been reported to the
Debian BTS as #619034 [1]?

If you run `reportbug` these questions are part of the template.

Well it was not complete nonsense. At least the content of the Linux
kernel ring buffer (`dmesg`) was very informative as it showed the Oops
when loading the sound module `snd-hda-intel`. This was the important
piece of information in this case.

Carlos, you should make sure next time, that such pastes are not
automatically wrapped. Unfortunately the Google Mail web interface does
not offer that feature. So you should think about using a MUA (mail
program) like Evolution, Icedove (Thunderbird), Mutt, ….

Elimar, could you execute `alsa-info.sh` [2] to collect information
about ALSA problems. At least that is always asked for when problems are
dealt with on the list alsa-devel.

Thanks,

Paul
