Whoops... :-)

alsa-1.0.3
kernal-2.4.20-30.9

And the last few lines of dmesg...

mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64
intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 49911 usecs
intel8x0: clocking to 48000

Motherboard is an Abit IS-7

There are a *lot* of sound modules loaded...
