This one's a little weird. I resynched my Gentoo portage
tree on 12/31/2006, and now have somehow lost a channel on
my ALSA sound system; it also loses percussion information
or something, which sounds *very* weird. I can sort of
get the channel and the percussion back by pulling the
plug out slightly in the back of my computer, presumably
converting it from stereo to mono, but am wondering if
there's a magic setting somewhere in /etc/asound.state ,
or if someone else knows what could be happening.

It's a stock ASUS 733 motherboard with inbuilt CM8738
(according to LSPCI), with an Athlon 1600 XP + (1.4 GHz).

If more info is needed (e.g., /etc/asound.state), please
let me know here and I'll post it.

Windows. Multi-platform(1), multi-tasking(1), multi-user(1).
(1) if one defines "multi" as "exactly one".

Well, FWIW, I think this one can be tagged as a hardware problem; my
right speaker looks very fussy regarding its connection to the left one.

Linux. An OS which actually, unlike certain other offerings, works.
