Comment 19 for bug 95940

This problem normally raises it's head for me when there is some glitch in a stream using AC3 passthrough (DVD's) or when the player crashes during playback. This results in most audio playback ceasing to work *except* for AC3. If the asound.state is stuck configured for AC3 pass through, then it makes sense that non-AC3 sources would fail to work.

I'm using Hardy Beta and alsa-base 1.0.16-0ubuntu4
