Interesting analysis, thanks Takashi. Ash, if you want me to help with debugging, I am usually on #mandriva-cooker and #pulseaudio on IRC (nick coling). If I don't answer after a ping it means I'm not there! > Of course, first I'd do is to upgrade alsa-lib and alsa-plugins. > 1.0.16 is fairly old. Ash, if you think this would help, I can backport these two packages on Mandriva for the 2008.1 version but the driver will have to remain at 1.0.16. (actually a current backport would get the 1.0.18rc2's). And Takashi, do you age faster than most humans? 1.0.17 only went final few weeks ago!!! (although I accept there have been several good bugfixes since!!)
