Hardware problems after installing 5.4 pre-release

Here's an update on the sound issue.  I ported down and compiled
mplayer.  I popped in a DVD and typed on the command line:

# mplayer dvd://

With that I got sound to play.  I then recompile xine, but xine still
has no sound.  KDE is also soundless.

Hopefully this helps.
