Hi Dave,
when its in this mode does anything work? Does pressing say  the power
button do anything? When you push any of the transport button does
anything different show on the screen AT ALL? (buttons highlight etc).

If this were me I would SSH into the Touch and look at the log file and
see if there is anything interesting, such losing connection to the
server. I would also check the processes and see if there are two
jive_alsa processes running, you might get this weirdness if one has
died. 

For SSH you need to get an SSH client (PuTTY on windows, ssh on OSX or
linux). On the Touch enable remote login (under setttings->advanced),
when you do this it will tell you a password and  IP address, this is
what you need to login. The username on the Touch is root.

Use PuTTY or ssh to login to the IP address from above. If you get
weird messages about keys do whatever it takes go ahead and login.
(proceed, continue, yes I accept responsibility etc). If it asks for a
username type in root. 

Once you login you will get a command prompt, type:

cd /var/log
ls
less messages

This brings up the top  of the file. Then type "G", thats shift G
(uppercase g). This goes to the bottom of the file. See if there is
anything interesting. You can use the arrow keys to scroll up or down.
When you are done looking at the file press "q" (lower case Q), this
gets out of less.

Then type 
ps -aux
This will give a list of running processes. There will be a bunch, you
should have a /usr/bin/jive and two /usr/bin/jive_alsa. 

When you are done poking around the inards of the Touch you can type:

exit

To get out.

Let us know if you find anything interesting from this.

John s.
