Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.6a-7
Severity: important

Sometime in the past two or three weeks, the behaviour of alsa changed.
I modify the alsa init script so that it loads sound font files for my
SBLive automagically. This used to work fine, but now I get the error
message "No Emux synth hwdep device is found." Once I log in, I can sometimes
load the soundfont manually, sometimes not. If the soundfont will load
manually, then everythink works just fine. If the soundfont will not load
manually (I get the same error message), then other midi programs will 
fail as well. For example, pmidi will get into a state where I can't kill 
it (not even with a kill -9). Any help would be appreciated.

But you later found that downgrading packages and kernel didn't help.
This leads me to think that your problem is either in hardware or in
hardware configuration -- perhaps conflicting IRQ or DMA settings or
something like that.  I am going to close this report, but if you find
something out that leads you to think that there is really a bug in one
of the alsa packages then please reopen the report.
