Phonon occasionally working

[Aniruddha <mailingdotlist@gmail.com>]

Sometimes when I boot into Debian Squeeze Phonon programs such as
Dragon player and Amarok work and sometimes they don't. Non Phonon
programs such as vlc always work. Pulseaudio isn't installed. Anyone
has an idea where to look for solutions?

My soundcard:
