$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1 (Thu Jun 22
13:55:50 2006 UTC).

Earlier I upgraded alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-plugins alsa-tools
alsa-utils to 1.0.13 (alsa-headers already were 1.0.13)

The ALSA 1.0.12rc1 will be from the kernel driver, I presume. Every time
I try to emerge alsa-driver I get:

configure: error: You have built-in ALSA in your kernel.
!!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.13 failed.

so to uninstall the kernel drivers (to upgrade ALSA) I would have to
re-compile my kernel (2.6.18-r1), I suppose.

I tried deleting position_fix=1 and rebooting, but it made no difference
(except maybe I did not have to run alsaconf immediately after booting
up, although touching the volume control still resulted in the sound
going dead and a running of alsaconf again necessary).

position_fix= has something to do with "buffer position reporting
schemes" according to:
