[ATrpms-users] Alsa 1.0.13 crashes my system hard

[Barry Stewart]

I upgraded alsa to version 1.0.13 on my FC6 dual core AMD x86_64 (Asus
A8N-VM CSM) system with nVidia sound (AD1986A using snd-hda-intel).  I did
this in an attempt get full surround sound support, which I don't get with
stock FC6 rpms.  However, when I attempt to play a sound (i.e. 
speaker-test -c 6), my system crashes hard.  No keyboard, mouse, not even
a blinking cursor; I have to power cycle the box.  Is any one else having
this problem?

I'm using the 2.6.18-1.2849 kernel, if that helps.

Thanks.
