Yes, I still get the same message (if the system doesn't freeze). The
process then looks like this:

And there's some related stuff in /var/log/messages :

gnome-media is version 2.10.2-0.2, gstreamer is mostly 0.8.8-3, with
libgstreamer0.8-0 being 0.8.11-1 (as reported by dpkg-query -l). uname -r says
2.6.12-1-686 - the most recent (testing) Debian stock kernel.


Should I take these kernel messages to some kernel people? From googling
a bit, I got the impression that the occasional freezes with nm256_audio
on Dell laptops at boot are a known problem (in 2002 - from my
experience it's largely solved) but nobody talks about recording
difficulties; there's no maintainer in the source, just two people who
provided patches in 2000 and 2001...
