           Summary: Sound volume decreases while playing and never

This effectively makes the sound unusable on my system.

When I install the sound card driver using the "advanced mode", I can play a
test sound. Moving the volume slider up to 100% I can actually hear it, but
during playing, the sound volume "fades down", until it is fully silent.

The duration until it is silent is longer than the test sound, so that when I
click "Test" again, I can hear it again, but in very low volume, and it
decreases until I can not hear it. More clicks on "Test" or changing the volume
slider does not help, it keeps silent. Only when I remove the sound device and
set it up again I can hear the sound.

The fading may be the result of some bad rounding and resetting the volume each
time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

I tried openSUSE 11.1 on the same machine, and the same bug was there, with the
difference that the ASCII console beep was totally distorted. On 11.2 the ASCII
beep is fine.
