I'm not using a DE at all, I'm running 9wm, which is probably the smallest window manager that exists. But I am going to run level 5, and looking at /etc/X11/prefdm, I think I'm defaulting to gdm as the login manager. My suspicion is that the audio daemons started by gdm are dying silently, hence the "now it works now it doesn't" symptoms. Danny.
