It sounds like the module is being automatically unloaded to save ram? I
don't like modules. If that's the problem you could recompile the kernel
with sound not as a module (it's not too hard to do, just download
2.2.2, extract, and read the README). Or, create a cron job that plays a
bit of silence or something every so often to keep the module active...
there's got to be an easier way. I think there was a comment about this
some time ago...
