Bug Description
I upgraded my 8.10 X86-32 system yesterday and this also upgraded the kernel to 2.6.27-11. This update required a restart and since that restart, my WinTV-PVR USB2 device does not work any more. That device previously showed up as /dev/video0 but this device is not found any more.
Also Skype does not work any more. The program starts but any attempt to make a connection fails. The console shows a lot of messages like this during startup of the program already:
ALSA lib pcm.c:2196:
ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.

I was able to solve both issues:
The WinTV-PVR USB2 problem was caused by the module option "initusbreset=0" which is no longer supported. This parameter was recommended for earlier versions to make the device work but must be removed now.
The Skype problem could be fixed by moving away ~/.Skype and starting from fresh. After adapting the audio configuration everything works as before. I have no idea whhich of the old settings caused the problem though.
