I've experienced other problems with same sound card. - aplay segfaults when it plays some files (like /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav) after the first segfaults, /dev/dsp is unusable - SDL_OpenAudio() segfaults - unable to rmmod snd-intel8x0 module after aplay or SDL_OpenAudio() segfaults because/dev/dsp is busy - sound is scratchy in Quake3 using artsdsp -m I've installed official alsa-libs and alsa-drivers tarball, I can now play sounds with aplay successfully, but this didn't fix the SDL_OpenAudio() problem (I'm tracking this last one, quite hard because /dev/dsp is unusable after the first segfault) -- Olivier Blin
