You think so?  From what I was seeing from previous threads, a
Thinkpad T60, an Acer and... one other, was that it didn't always mean
that.  I could be wrong, but my output looks very simmilar to both of
those posts, and they just had to mess with the mixer's defaults a bit.

  Actually, I think I had an earlier dmesg that had quite a lot more 
insofar as the codecs and supported audio rates went.  I'll see if I can 
slide back a few days worth of kernels and post that one up shortly.
