Hi,

Have some alsa issues that have been biting me for some time.

Redhat 7.2, kernel 2.4.17, alsa-driver-0.5.12a, alsa-lib-0.5.10b, 
alsa-utils-0.5.10, Dell Inspiron 8000 with a Maestro 3e.

Configure options for alsa-driver are
./configure --with-cards=maestro3 --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes 
--with-isapnp=no --with-debug=none

Installed using the wonderful checkinstall that buils a RPM very 
quickly.

# sudo checkintall make install

Configure optionbs for alsa-library are
./configure --with-debug=no

# sudo checkinstall make install

My entire /etc/modules.conf file is

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
# Linux kernel Sound driver
#alias sound-slot-0 maestro3
#post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L 
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
#pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S 
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
#alias synth0 off

Issues.
======

1.
xmms stops playing every so often, often when an event takes place 
like opening, resizing or closing a window.  I'm using 
xmms-1.2.5-ximian.5.  I've found the solution is to click pause and 
then unpause and the file continues to play.  As a sidenote I use Ogg 
Vorbis a lot.  This has become number 1 annoyance.

2.
Is my Maestro 3e config ok within modules.conf?  What do other people 
use?

3.
When I boot up, sound does not automatically set the volume,
I automatically set it using the following commands, how can this get 
automatically set?  I've tried experiements with /etc/asound.conf but 
I just don't get it.  As a sidenote very occasionally the speed of 
playback sounds like it has doubled, how do I set the playback speed?

The commands i use to enable the volume are,

amixer set Master 22 unmute
amixer set PCM 22 unmute
aumix -v 70

4.
I receive the following messages in /var/log/messages how can i 
resolve this and what do they mean?
