The only way to get it to start again is to restart alsa-utils from init.d,
then it is fine again.
Ubunty 9.10 with compiled fixes, sound and vid via HDMI.
I have this using XFCE, with the sound and volume in XFCE settings
unchecked, compiled with pulse.
Maybe I am misunderstanding the audio setup. Should I be setting things up
differently?
What could be causing this audio stop behavior? What does alsa-utils
restart actually fix?
Ideas?

Mark - not sure, but I'm having a similar issue in that occasionally
on Ubuntu 9.10 where I'll loose the ability to send analog/pcm sound
out via SPDIF, yet digital audio still works. It seems to be resolved
when I run the speaker-test command. Here's a bug report of the
issue, thought it might be related to what you are seeing, but I
honestly don't know:

Yes, that does sound like my issue. Odd. Oh well, a cron entry to
restart alsa-utils will fix it.<br>
