Hi, sorry for the late reply. Luckily, this doesn't happen every time I go to prefs. In fact I haven't been able to reproduce it since. My alsa config is now fixed after deleting some (trivial, or so I thought) custom config files left over from dapper (/etc/asound.conf and .asoundrc). Symptoms were all kinds of strange behaviour, esp. relating to multi-channel output (stuttering, refusing to play, non-working volume controls etc.).
