[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#524027: same problem, why close?

[Brent S. Elmer]

I have the same problem.  Starting yesterday, my sound broke in the same
way.  If I do modprobe snd-intel8x0, then sound comes back.  At least
what wasn't broken from the pulseaudio upgrade last week.  I have an IBM
thinkpad T42p.  lspci shows the following for sound:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)

I keep my squeeze laptop updated daily.  Something that hit squeeze in
the last few days broke the sound.  I am also noticing a problem with my
usb mouse.  When my gnome desktop starts up the usb mouse is dead.  If I
unplug it and plug it back in it starts working.

The sound problem may not be an alsa-utils bug but rather than close it
shouldn't it be transferred to whatever system is causing the bug?
