I have problems with the 2.6.14 and 2.6.23 kernels relating to sound devices

1. duplicate audio and dsp devices are created

this then causes my kde desktop to display a large volume control showing
zero sound. I cannot remove this window, so kde is unusable

I suspect some alsa related problem, but have not found anything on google


$lsmod | grep snd
snd_pcm_oss 50592 0
snd_mixer_oss 17920 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_intel8x0m 16324 0
snd_intel8x0 30016 0
snd_ac97_codec 81144 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm 85256 4
snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer 22148 1 snd_pcm
snd 47204 7
snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc 7812 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

2. a second problem occurs when I insert a usb headset. i get unresolved
symbols when the module is loaded

snd_usb_audio: Unknown symbol __compound_literal.127



Everything works normally with linux-2.6.12.5
