Bug#512934: installation-reports: no sound at all; worked in Etch, works with Knoppix

That's the thing: there's no error message whatsoever. Each program
believes that all is well and plays. Here is an example from MPlayer:
/data>\mplayer Dolly_Parton___Jolene.mp3

| Aren't all your channels muted (check with alsamixer)?
Nope, that's the first thing I checked (I reported this in my previous
mail). And the card that is refered to in alsamixer is indeed the Ensoniq.
| I guess the attached hardware summary isn't from the offending machine,
| is it? Then please provide lspci -knn and lsmod output as well.
Yes it is, I sent the bug report from the offending machine. I'm using it.
So you already have the output. I'll put it anyway at the end of this
mail.
I should add that a friend of mine who is also a Debian developper
(Vincent Fourmond) gave me a hand trying to figure out what was wrong. I
did not report the bug without a thorough chek beforehand. Heck, I even
installed Lenny twice and Etch once again just to check this problem out!
No sound in Lenny means for me no music, no tv and no movies...
Best,
Sébastien.
