Hmm, that's no good.  Does this always happen at boot, or after a
certain trigger, or at seemingly random times?  Is it easy to
reproduce?  Did it start happening with an upgrade, or has it always
happened on this machine?  Does it happen with the kernel from sid,
too?  Any other weird symptoms?

This might have been fixed by v2.6.33-rc8~14^2~1^2~6 = v2.6.32.0.0~67
(drm/radeon/kms: suspend and resume audio stuff, 2010-01-28), so
results from testing the kernel in sid would be very helpful.

Thanks for reporting.

Regards,
Jonathan
