thinkpad T20: no sound after suspend

[Richard Black <rblack@algorithmics.com>]

Hi all

I have been setting up a new laptop, a ThinkPad T20.  So far so
good...except that after a suspend, sound doesn't work and the
applications that want to use sound seem to hang for about 30 seconds
before doing anything.

Basic setup:  kernel 2.2.17 with APM, ALSA for sound, apmd running,
gnome with sound turned on.

I've tried this both with and without AC power.  I have tried restarting
the ALSA--this doesn't work as if complains that some applications are
using sound--notably the gnome panel and mixer applet.  If I do a
force-restart for alsa it gets rid of the applet...but still no sound.

Any ideas?  Is there some thing I need to change in /etc/apmd/ ?

TIA

Richard
