Hello,
Code:
uname -a
Linux littleindian 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Sun Oct 5 12:51:06 CEST 2008 i686
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Sound used to perfectly work out of all softwares providing it (amarok, vlc,
firefox...), untill...
Symptoms :
when amarok is fired, pop up window saying "XINE was unable to initialize any
audio-drivers".
no sound comes out anymore from vlc , Quake3, or firefox, when on youtube for
example . Video's fine thought.
when sounds tests are played with gnome sound manager: "audiotestsrc wave=sine
freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Internal GStreamer
error: state change failed. Please file a bug at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer" when Alsa is chosen.
BUT, when OSS is chosen, I get the "beep" that means fine.
What I've checked so far:
Alsaconf had no issue dealing with my sound card. Alsamixer works fine.
Re-emerged media-libs/xine-lib, sys-apps/xinetd, x11-libs/libXinerama,
x11-proto/xineramaproto, gstreamer,gst-* plugins with no positive result.

What I've been doing before I notice this issue:
install nvidia drivers for graphic card 6600 GT
install Quake3
upgrade kernel
--All this went fine, and I'm positive, sound was working, since I played Q3
with it.--
run "emerge -pv --update --newuse --deep world" --> 40 components had to be
recompiled.
install PlayOnLinux.
Any idea ? Thanx
