Comment 166 for bug 191027

Running Ubuntu Hardy 64 bit. Using standard proprietary packages for mp3 mediabuntu etc. Things worked fine. Then after a botched kernel update (done while root filesystem ran out of space) was getting weird mp3 playback error.

mp3 would play in mpg321 and VLC only. Movies worked in VLC only. Everything else (songbird, totem, etc) invalid stream argument. I didn't realise kernel update was botched because everything else worked and because the filesystem running out of space was a surprise (large file misplaced on wrong partition) I re-installed totem, and every mp3 library/codec to no avail.

Finally realised about the kernel update issue, re-installed all the latest kernel packages as well as pcmcia. Reboot. Sound now works upon login! yay.
