sound devices



Folk,

One of my Debian Lenny machines has on-board Intel 
sound and an Altec Lansing USB headset.  Skype lists 
these devices.

Intel 82801BA-ICH2 (hw:I82801BAICH2,0) 
Intel 82801BA-ICH2 (plughw:I82801BAICH2,0) 
Intel 82801BA-ICH2 (hw:I82801BAICH2,1) 
Intel 82801BA-ICH2 (plughw:I82801BAICH2,1) 
C-Media USB Headphone Set (hw:default,0)
C-Media USB Headphone Set (plughw:default,0)

What is hw and plughw?

What is the distinction between devices 0 and 1?

About two months ago, around the time I upgraded 
from etch to lenny, the headset stopped sending 
sound from the microphone.  Then about a week 
ago, around the time of a kernel update, the 
headset stopped bringing sound in also.  The headset 
has no problems on a lenny machine at home.
Here I am forced to use the Intel sound hardware 
for Skype.

Any ideas about problems with USB sound in lenny 
or in kernel 2.6.24?

Thanks,          ... Peter E.
