Hello again, and thanks for your reply

Ahh, a good old case of
	echo '16i[q]sa[ln0=aln100%Pln100/snlbx]sbA0D4D465452snlbxq'|dc

Allthough to be fair, I had a nice little adventure into kernel-land, it's 
quite astounding how complicated it is just to get a nice simple terminal all 
to yourself.

Okey dokey, I don't user reiserfs, so I should be okay there. I'll get the XFS 
utilities just in case. I'm noticing a few odd things; bzip seems to be 
segfaulting more often than it used to when working on big files (It gave met 
the best ever segfault error, there was a whole page of explanation as to 
what could be causing it - the least likely explanation, according to it, is 
a bug in bzip) And compiling stuff seems a little tempremental. I've had 
these problems before, though, I think I have a few bytes ever so slightly 
forgetfull RAM somewhere in my dear machine, and the new kernel is bringing 
the rubbish to light ;)

Now, back to the ALSA grindstone. I need to figure out which of these mixer 
controls actually do something useful and how to make the others go away, for 
sanity's sake :)

Regards,
