Uh, nice.

yes, that sounds pretty promising to me.

I think this bug now has enough information for our alsa maintainers to
judge if this is something that should go into squeeze, so I'm
reassinging to libasound2. Please keep us informed when these patches
hit sid/squeeze, we probably should then adapt the error message to
include the version of the fixed libasound2 package and this bug number.
