I eventually went to OSS with moderate success. Later, the Intel motherboard I was using had an untimely demise. It's replacement, an Asus, also had a similar incomprehensible Intel integrated sound, didn't really want to play sound either. Finally, I installed an old sound card and disabled the on board sound. This works, good enough. So I guess I am not now affected by Bug 410360. Thanks for asking.
