I don't know how exactly it should be flagged, I flagged it as a kernel problem because when I was looking to see if it was a duplicate almost all snd-hda-intel related problems (I'm only assuming that's what this is) were filed under this category. And someone reported the problem disappeared when switching to the 2.6.15 kernel.

I attached those files because they seem to get requested quite often when there are sound related problems. Sorry if they aren't of any use.

I have never used oprofile before, see no mention of it in the ubuntu docs or wiki, and little mention on the forums how should I use it?
I see that if I do "opcontrol --start" and then issue "opcontrol --shutdown" I end up with files in /var/lib/oprofile/samples/current/ and I can get a summary from "opreport" but I don't know if this is what is needed in this particular case.

Should I start opcontrol in this way, reproduce the crash, then submit the resulting files in /var/lib/oprofile/samples/current/, have it profile a specific binary, or something else instead?
