2.6.29.1: kernel/console beep no longer available, audio problems too

[Justin Piszcz]

Hello,

After upgrading from 2.6.28.2, I noticed 2.6.29.1 (the config option moved 
around too for the PC-speaker) that the audio for my sound card does not 
start working for 1-2 minutes after trying to play various sounds. 
Eventually, it starts to work, but the PC speaker no longer functions.

Is this a kernel/configuration issue or a bug since it appears the audio 
hw/configuration has been re-worked?

Justin.

Pardon the noise:

2009-04-05 06:05:39 configure xterm 242-1 242-1
2009-04-05 06:05:39 status unpacked xterm 242-1

2009-04-05 06:05:40 status installed xterm 242-1

The problem is the new xterm in debian testing, it has a bug, reporting it 
now, all seems good so far with 2.6.29.1.

(going back to xterm 235_2 fixes the beep problem):
