I experienced the same sort of behavior when I upgraded to 4.0 a few weeks
ago.  I've since reverted to 3.4-STABLE, and everything's working fine
again.

The new pcm driver is really "Not Ready For Prime Time" just yet.  Why
it's being forced on people (i.e., if you want to use 4.0) at this point is
beyond me.

That's all I'm saying for now.  :-)
