No sound for me yet tpowa. Varun
Couple of other things: kmix: can't resize the window(from the corners), and the sliders occupy almost all screen real estate. I have to use alsamixer instead. video: kmplayer played a file once, and then crashed every other time after. Falling back to 2.6.23.9 reverted everything to normalcy. Varun

I can confirm this. @tpowa: What would break if we do not use any alsa snapshots but the stable release?

Do you use the intel driver? I have X segfaults and freezes; I assumed it was caused by new xorg and not the kernel. -- archlinux.de

nvidia binary blob. X itself doesn't lock up, but playing videos locks up
the player... Varun

I think th emost important argument for using snapshots is that they support more odd variants of soundcards in laptops and other weird devices. From what I can tell, not much in the functioning of the drivers themselves changes unless alsa actually does release. It's a lot of work to break out just PCI-ids and mixer tables properly so I see that as a reason to go with a full backport. Nevertheless, my snd-hda-intel (actually a realtek card on an nvidia board, weird huh?) doesn't do playback anymore. alsamixer pops out of nowhere but the mixer devices are some I have never seen before and make no sense in the way they are labeled. Cheers, -G

Works nicely for me on x86_64 now. Way less mixer options but no meaningless "Surround" panel anymore that didn't do anything. :) Signed-off: Mr. Gecko Cheers, -G
