"Sound protocol is not compatible" is the error generated when an
application compiled with libasound.so.2, from alsa-0.9, tries to talk
to an alsa-0.5 vintage driver.

This can happen quite easily since the location of the alsa modules
moved and the naming conventions of the modules also changed.  The
location change is a problem because the alsa-0.9 driver install
may not clean out the old alsa-0.5 modules.  The naming change is a
problem because modules.conf may still be forcing an alsa-0.5 sound
driver to load.

Look in /lib/modules for your system and see if you can find more than
one directory of alsa sound modules.  One place they've installed is
misc/, another is kernel/sound/.  They'll be named snd-*.o where ever
they installed.  Clean out the older ones.

Check your /etc/module.conf, if it refers to any snd-card-*, where *
is a hardware name and not a digit, then it's not using the most
recent naming conventions.  See the alsa-drivers/INSTALL document.
