[linux-audio-user] once in a blue moon usb-audio

[iriXx]

ok this is getting weird.

usb audio decided to run the other day when i rebooted into 2.4.18 
kernel (from mandrake 8.2 install... the one that used to work fine).
i thought i'd recompiled alsa for that kernel by mistake. but no - it 
turns out i've recompiled for both 2.4.18 and 19.

sooo... why did it work a couple of days ago and wont work yesterday and 
today?????

the modules *are* loading... this is output of lsmod:
