<Solution Edit>
Eventually found clues on the forums suggesting that the atiixp driver went through a period of being broken around 2.6.8. Got alsa-driver update from alsa site, all is good again.
I've removed a red herring from the original post to avoid confusion for future searchers.

Been running 2.6.8.1 ck9 sources for a while, and noticed recently that sound was no longer working after running alsasound restart.
On boot, I have /dev/sound/audio /dev/sound/mixer and /dev/sound/dsp, (and sound output works just fine) but after doing alsasound restart, they've all disappeared--though no error messages are generated on standard error, and the expected array of modules have loaded:
| Code: |
snd_atiixp 17064 0
snd_ac97_codec 64388 1 snd_atiixp
snd_seq_oss 30720 0
snd_seq_midi_event 6272 1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 48016 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device 6536 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss 48040 0
snd_pcm 82824 2 snd_atiixp,snd_pcm_oss
snd_page_alloc 8840 2 snd_atiixp,snd_pcm
snd_timer 20868 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd_mixer_oss 17152 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd 46564 10 snd_atiixp,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss
|
What does reappear is the /dev/sound directory, with sequencer and sequencer2.
A second attempt to stop alsasound gives me
| Code: |
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found.
|
as an error, which I guess just confirms that there's no sound card recognized.
For what it's worth, lspci still shows the card as:
| Code: |
00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4341
|
Any thoughts?
