I see alot of people complaining about bugs with polypaudio but for 
me it's a godsend. (just to add the other side of the argument here)

my sound was very bad and patchy before polypaudio was installed, 
when i played dvd's the sound was a second behind, and if i paused 
it and then unpaused it was be very patchy (only getting a little 
bit of the sound) and with alot of static/background/garbled noise, 
and every other system sound was like this, sometimes it corrected 
it self after playing an ogg music file for a while but it was a 
pain. after i saw polypaudio install everything was fine, dvd's and 
everything.

my card uses the alsa module snd-atiixp.

sound just don't work with this card in warty thats why i am using 
hoary,
