I used gmplayer (from Christian Marillat's excellent archive) to play a video file this morning. Gmplayer froze, and I had to kill it. Now *no* sound will play, and this is in /var/log/messages:

They all report being busy. I'm going to have to reboot to get sound back, I guess. I've never experienced a kernel oops on this system. It's disturbing. Should I report this as a bug in kernel-image-2.4.20-3-k7? There are currently no visible bugs against any of the 2.4.20 kernels that I could find. Or is it a bug in the sound modules? And: I sent essentially this message about 6 hours ago, and it was never posted. That's three messages sent to debian-user that just disappeared into the ether, neither posted nor bounced. That should never happen. I know lists.debian.org accepted them, because I'm running my own SMTP server.
