Thank you for the follow up. I still do not understand how PulseAudio
can work for some though and then stops.

Anyway, could you please run the Skript `alsa-info.sh` [2] on your
system and report your issue and solution to the alsa-devel mailing list
[3] or create a ticket in the Linux Kernel bug tracker [4] or in the bug
tracker of your distribution.


Thanks,

Paul
