Yes, I'm always carefull to run matching versions. As soon as I upgraded 
to the 2.6.14 kernel, this started happening. I hadn'nt even touched my 
alsa packages, except alsa-driver ofcourse. I used the same version but 
just compiled the new modules against the new kernel. I've found other 
people having the same problem on the web, but the posts ussually go 
unanswered... :-(
