ES 1371, as I should have stated before.

Ah, post in haste, repent at leisure. I tweaked a few parameters in
Realplayer itself, and started getting badly distorted sound, as if I were
getting two feeds slightly out of sync of the same live broadcast. Then
after a while this problem sorted itself out and I started getting clear
sound. FWIW here is the output from lsmod |grep snd

The sound system is enabled again and on the mixer the only input selected
is line. Both the green and red lights are lit on that device. This may be
irrelevant.

On the output side PCM also has a green light, and that is essential.
