Last night, I was fumbling around trying to play a DVD that was just a 
bit too encrypted. I installed libdvdcss and then lindvd.  They have 
since been uninstalled. Now, I have no sound. I'm not sure that those 
packages caused the problem, but ...

In any case, system-config-soundcard sees the SB Audigy card, but 
nothing comes out.  When I boot into Windows, it's happy.

On the same day, a bunch of packages were installed, including hal.

My suspicion is that it has more to do with HAL than the dvd fumbling.  
Has anyone else lost sound since  hal - 0.5.10-1.fc8.2.i386

Is there some way I can "clean" the system of what it knows about the 
current sound card and let it rediscover it from scratch?
