ok tried to run alsaconf

and it seemed to do just fine, it found my card and
asked me if i wanted to configure it. it even gave a
nice ending that said:

 Now ALSA is ready to use.
 For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

 Have a lot of fun!

then i tried to open an mp3 w/ totem and it 'quit
unexpectadly' and then the same thing with a movie and
same error

so for the heck of it i swithced over to kde

crash handler advised me about :

"Soundserver KDE crash handler"
Short Description:
the application soundserver artsd caused the signal 6
(SIGABRT)  and so on

then for the fun of it i ran artsd from a commandline
and got:

ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start)
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start)
