I compiled it the other day, but after the reboot the sound worked
without modification, (no patches, nor command line tweaks). Checked
again to see if it's the one I compiled, yes...
% cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.2.9 (alfie@Arf.foo.org) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-1) ) #1 SMP Wed Mar 7 16:37:05 EST 2012
Hmm. Recheck with 3.2.0-1. Reboot with that...
% cat /proc/version

No, sound works there too. Hmm, I first commented on this bug on
2/5/12 -- since then there's been two or three Debian upgrades to the
'linux-image-3.2.0-1-686-pae' package:
% zcat < /usr/share/doc/linux-image-3.2.0-1-686-pae/changelog.Debian.gz | grep '\-\-\|linux\-2.6' | head -n 8

On 2/5/12 I'd have been using v3.2.2 or v3.2.4. Presumably it was
fixed somewhere in there. It'd be nice to know whether the fix was in
v3.2.6 or v3.2.7. I'd reinstall each kernel package to test them, but
except for the latest, those are not in my '/var/cache/apt/archives/'
anymore.
Seems to be fixed.
