If alsa does not work probably the problem is with alsa and not with debian
dont you think ? (Just asking i have no idea of what sound card you have).

What do you mean by bloat? I am using woody, in woody packages are not so
lagged behind. I used Eduard Bloch's woody net install disks
http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/ and they worked preatty much
ok. (They will default to a XFS partition attention with that)

When upgradding packges you have always the option of using the new
configuration files or tomaintain the ones on your harddrive.

what abstraction layer? I use debian 70% of the time, the other 30% i use
red hat, digital unix (now compaq true64), mandrake and i have no problem.
