Hi Marty,
Hmmm. Running lspci gives me this
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
I have rev 50, which probably doesn't make any difference.
for the audio controller.
I have an Asus K8V SE with an onboard soundcard. Parts of my lsmod look
like this:

So apparently this is an apps issue and not a driver issue. Rather than
report a bug right away I am leaning toward letting the OSS/ALSA/udev dust settle
a little more, since its seems like a number of packages are affected. While
dusting off my multimedia apps I ran into other affected apps in the last day or
so (pia being the latest example). Everything is so broken that I've decided to
just postpone my multimedia projects for the time being. There is an outside
chance that I may try unstable, the only thing stopping me being the fact that
upgrading tends to be a one-way process, and of course, unstable presents its
own list of issues. All in all I am disappointed and troubled that sarge is
apparently so instable at the eve of its anticipated release. Things are
reasonable stable at the package level, but it seems like a real problem exists
at the "system integration" level, which is something I wouldn't even begin to
know how to address.
