[wplug] ALSA Oddities

[Christopher Galik]

I run SuSE 9.0 on a T-Bird 1.4GHz, and a C-Media 8738 onboard sound 
device.  I use ALSA 1.0.1's cmipci driver for it. However, every time I 
restart X (generally to log out of KDE and log back in again), I hear no 
sound output from my sound card.  I checked the mixer settings and they're 
all OK.  The only way I have found to regain output from the sound system 
is to do

modprobe -r snd-cmipci && modprobe snd-cmipci

Anyone else experienced this problem?  I use Kernel 2.6.1 right now, but 
this problem existed in 2.4.21 as well so don't automatically say that 
that's the problem. =)  I use KDE 3.2B2, but I've tried it in a 
plain old vanilla X session with nothing but an XTerm running, as 
well as in FVWM2.  Thanks all for your help in advance!

Regards,
-C.
