Public bug reported: After resolving the issues reported in Bug 299093, I encountered a problem with the sound preferences applet. KevinM described similar behavior in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa- driver/+bug/299093/comments/12.
When going to System->Preferences->Sound and attempting to test, the applet fails to generate sound if I take the default Autodetect values. If I attempt to cancel the test, the applet hangs and has to be killed. HOWEVER, if I explicitly set ALSA or OSS (having installed oss-compat) rather than Autodetect, the playback tests all succeed.
