Comment 5 for bug 17770

I'm having the exact same problem after the alsa upgrade. aplay works fine just
as it does from koopman.
In response to:

 can you attach the output of "GST_DEBUG=alsa*:5 gstreamer-properties" while
playing a sound to the bug?

i wasnt sure what you exactly mean so i did the following:
tried just running the command from command line, and hitting the test buttons,
resulted in no output on the commandline.
then i left that gstreamer-properties window open, and ran totem and rythmbox
from command lines, both sounded overdriven, but their was still no output from
any command line.

also my audio device is a intergrated ADI AD1985 6-channel sound card.
(basically an intergrated intel ICH5 device.)

Ironically, I upgraded from hoary to breezy in hopes of getting correct surround
sound output from my new speakers. I could get crystal clear audio in stereo
from hoary, now breezy doesnt like my sound card at all :-) oh well, I like an
adventure. hope this may help.
