please use the script `alsa-info.sh` [1] to get ALSA related
information.

I suggest the following.

1. Submit a report to the Debian bug tracking system (using
`reportbug`). I think the Linux kernel package is the correct package to
file that issue against.

2. Try a live system. Debian offers live images [2]. I guess the just
released Fedora 16 should have the latest Linux kernel and ALSA stuff
too and they offer live systems too [3]. Store the output of
`alsa-info.sh` of these systems.

3. If it worked in item 2. mention that to your Debian bug report. If it
did not work, either contact alsa-devel [4] or open an issue in the
Fedora bug tracking system [5] since the Linux kernel bug tracker is
down currently due to the kernel.org compromise. Some upstream
developers work for Fedora/RedHat so I hope your issue will be fixed
upstream.

Oh, I read the subject line again and it is working in Oneiric. Please
always mention such stuff in the message again! I guess item 1. should
be enough then. One of the Linux kernel maintainer Ben Hutchings most of
the time gets a solution out really fast!


Thanks,

Paul
