release notes and alsaconf

[Rainer Dorsch <rdorsch@web.de>]

Hello,

my upgrade from sarge to etch broke my sound configuration. Fortunately, I was 
not the only one with that problem and I googled a solution 
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/09/msg00949.html). Is it worth that 
it goes into 

	5.1 Potential problems

of the release notes?

Something along the lines:


5.1.5 Sound stops working

In rare cases the sound stops working after the upgrade. In this case go 
through the alsa checklist

1) run alsaconf as root user 
2) add your user to the 'audio' group 
3) use alsamixer and make sure levels are up and it is unmuted 
4) arts or esound stopped? 
5) OSS modules unloaded?  
6) speakers on? 
7) does `cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp` work for root?


For me alsoconf solved the problem as well.

Thanks,
Rainer
