[Alsa-user] Need to keep running alsaconf

[Charles J. <cj...@pr...>]

I'm using alsa under Debian Lenny. I don't know whether i have flaky
hardware ( Intel 82801CA-ICH3 ) but i find that playing sound files
works only intermittently. When it doesn't work, aplay and speaker-test
both hang with no sound. I can fix this by running alsaconf, but that's
a pain as it is interactive. Please advise. TIA
