The solution is to make the sound driver a module, and then have the /etc/apm/apmd_proxy script do an rmmod and a modprobe for the module (thus re-initialising the sound). I'm running a June 1998 Thinkpad 380 with Crystal sound. The sound card worked OK with SoundBlaster drivers (but didn't allow recording). With Crystal drivers it allows recording but must be reloaded on resume. It's working well now. -- I'm in Utrecht. I'd like to meet any Linux users in the area, or any other part of the Netherlands.
