I appreciate you contributing your system information. Since you and the 
other people who have working SMP systems are using RedHat, it would seem
that the crucial difference is RedHat's ac kernel vs. Debian's stock
kernel. (It is not the Debian source package, since I also had lockups
with the ALSA CVS sources.)

You are jumping to conclusions. I was very glad to hear from Jaroslav
and Takashi, and very surprised as well, as in mid-February there were
two long threads about this *exact same problem*, and no developers
posted at all. 

When Andrew posted this problem again, I suggested that he wait,
since as far as I knew from monitoring my bug report and the list 
since February, nothing had changed since then.

Did I ever suggest anything of this sort? I have compiled ALSA from CVS
sources countless times. I never once had a problem installing it. When
I tried to *use* it, I found a serious bug, and tried to bring it to the
developers' attention, and was ignored.
