My goal is to fix this issue for Squeeze, not for me, but for other users potentially affected by this bug. It won't affect me as I only use unstable on this machine. But in order to help fix it I need to: 1. backport the patch for 2.6.32 2. recompile a standard Debian kernel with the patch included (for testing purposes) 3. report a bug with the backported patch included asking for inclusion in the default squeeze kernel Unfortunately I lack the skills for 1. and I was asking for comments on whether it is too complicated to pursue: - if it's trivial I could just go to 3., offer my help for 2. and hope the kernel team has enough time to do 1. - if it's doable I could ask on alsa-user or alsa-devel, hoping to find a kind soul to help - if it's too complicated I can just drop it since the issue would be solvable in squeeze by installing a newer kernel from backports (not ideal) Hope this explains, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
