I have a possibly related issue on my T42 (SuSE 9.3); sometimes upon 
resuming I only get sound from the right speaker, none or static from 
the left.  It can be resolved by hibernating.  I suspect that something 
isn't properly resetting the sound registers; a hibernate does a full 
power-off, so things start in a known configuration, but perhaps with 
suspend things aren't full initialized.
