[ltp] Loosing alsa, under Debian, on ThinkPad T61...

[Petar Milin]

Hello ALL!
Hope my Subject is palatal to grasp the problem. Simply: I lost Internal 
Mic and I cannot use Skype, which I need very much.
If I do: purge all alsa related files (gstreamer0.10-alsa, alsa-base, 
alsa-tools, linux-sound-base), reboot; then install them again; 
everything is happy and internal mic is working. However, either if I 
start Skype or reboot, or whatever, alsa crashes -- internal mic is 
dead, although I can hear sound.
Please, help me with this! I really need Skype...

To repeat: I use Debian testing on my ThinkPad T61.

Best,
PM
