OK, so now I'm hitting the infamous hang problem as well.  Switch channels 
and the system locks up tight.  I'm using Alsa 0.9.0-rc5 (Debian unstable 
binary packages).  Looks like I'll be waiting awhile for the packagers to 
update to rc6 or later,  so I'm thinking about getting the Debian source 
package and applying the patch myself.

I haven't worked with Debian source packages before, so can anyone provide 
some tips (or better yet, a walkthru) on how to get the source package, 
patch it, and build it?

Even better, anyone built an unofficial Debian binary package for the 
latest Alsa?

Regards,

Dan
