A hundred times. It says ALSA is ready to use, and wishes me a lot of
fun. As long as it's happy...
In fact the link given earlier in the thread to
http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Sound_in_Debian_GNU/Linux
says:
Alsaconf is so buggy that it is best not to use it at the moment
(according to [bug no 432678]).
You now have to use udevtrigger instead of alsaconf.
But that did nothing useful either as far as I could tell.
Mine is an Acer Aspire 1640Z, FWIW.
