OK, I have been following this list and specifically, the sound problems that people 
are having with the 390X thinkpads.  Here is my question:  can anyone tell me the 
source of the problem?  I used to have a 390E with the same sound card, ESS-Solo1, and 
it worked fine.  Now, I have a 390X with the ESS-Solo1 and I have this same problem 
with wavs and mp3s that others have mentioned.  I can turn off PCI Bus Power 
management in the bios, and things will work, for a while, but then it seems that 
sound begins to hog my memory and quits working altogether, until I reboot.  What is 
the real issue here?  Is this a problem with the bios on the Thinkpad 390X?  Will a 
future kernel fix this?  Will a future Alsa package fix this?  Can it be fixed without 
resorting to turning off PCI Bus power management?  In an ideal world, it seems that I 
shouldn't have to do that.

Thanks,
