Just a followup on this thread: can't seem to get the ALSA "snd-

Yes, I have also been having problems getting the ALSA sound driver
working under a 2.6 kernel on both an XP1000 and a PWS600au. When I
was running the Debian 2.4 kernel the OSS sb driver worked fine.
I am currently running my own compiled 2.6.16.12 kernel, but I had
the same problems when I tried the 2.6.15-whatever debian test kernel
a couple or so months back.
I don't get any sound out of the system at all. Running one of the
alsa sound test programs (speaker-test) produces no sound, and
eventually the kernel starts barfing error messages "Bad page state"
with much unilluminating hex numbers (is this an oops?). I just
tried the alpha-alsa.patch mentioned earlier in this thread but it
makes no difference.
I am also happy to participate in the discussion and try tests to
isolate the problem with sound under alsa on these machines.
