Hi jacob,
I found this problen in Ubuntu beta 1 on my thinkpad r60.
But just could not replicate in beta 2.
I think this is an inconsistant but.

Can you please tell me where to set this parameter, just in case I get 
this error on other machines?
We are setting up a lab for blind people in another state in India and I 
don't want to have this problem surface there without a known solution.
About 60 computers will be made available for job oriented trainning to 
the blind people.
All those computers have some creative sound card, (I don't exactly know 
the specs though).
