Sound problems after Upgrade? plz help

hello everybody,
recently I have upgraded my debian (woody) to sarge (testing).
I upgraded the kernel from 2.4 to 2.6. As well as from KDE 3.1
to KDE 3.2.
The problems is that while playing any musci using xmms for example
the sounds stops for a few seconds and then resumes upon opening
of any program or while browsing the internet.Even scrolling down a page
causes it to hang for 1 sec or so.
I really cant figure out the source of the problem since I upgraded alot
of stuff and the same time (Kernel, dist, and KDE).
I am using OSS as the o/p plugin for xmms.

Any help would really b appreciated !!!

KDE 3.2 mutes some soundcards. This problem is known. But I no idea how to correct this on Debian.

On SuSE (with alsa-sound) you have to start the alsamixer (which provides you every exotic ruler you can customise on your soundcard), correct it (testing wich of them is it) and use alsactl store to save the settinges and in the Autostart of KDE an alsactl restore to restore the correct settings after KDE messed it up.

Maybe you find an appropriate method to do this on Debian.
