Well, when posting reference to bugs with the sound driver
we got start by :
	1. OS version

	2. Sound Driver version

	3. Sound Card

	4. relevant sound configuration from the kernel config file

	5. cat /dev/sndstat

	6. Be a bit more descriptive about bug desription and if possible
	  provide code snippet which can reproduce the bug.


	Amancio
