Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: important

Hi!

I boot my System and log into X (KDE). The KDE Sound Systems tells me
that it cannot open the default sound device and will now switch to
/dev/null as Sound-Device. Kmix (The KDE Mixer) crashes on start.

No sound available.

Now when I restart als with 
/etc/init.d/alsa stop && /etc/init.d/alsa start and then restart the KDE
sound system Sound works great.

When alsa is starting while the system is booting I see a message like
that (did not fine it in the logs)

Starting ALSA (version 1.0.2c): Alsa seems to be statically compiled
(or very similar)

So maybe the modules get not loaded correctly on startup?
Can this be caused through a version missmatch? (1.0.2c / 1.0.3)

I use devfs and a self compiled Linux Kernel 2.6.3 and everthing that
has to do with alsa as modules.
