found one:
Aug 22 21:55:45 queen kernel: Vortex: vortex_fifo_setadbctrl fail

after that, i have to restart alsa

but this is only partly the problem, it's only lately that i see that error 
when there are problems, before i never saw anything in logs and it still had 
the same problem

there is one thing though, i haven't gotten the error where snd-au8810 has 210 
dependencies anymore.

if i now have an error with sound, i only have to kill all appl using alsa, 
and restart alsa (when that dep error was there, i had to reboot to have 
sound + ps aux crashed the console and lotsa other things, applications using 
alsa had weird statusses etc...)

i'll definately try that one sometime later tonight, it seems it might fit the 
problem

that's odd ...
