[CM] Snd freezing everything

[Anders Vinjar]

Some seriously odd behaviour here while being 'root'.

Starting Snd as root, choosing "New" from the file menu freezes
everything.  Only way out is to hit reset in the machine-room and
having a hard reboot.

This seems to be the behaviour across various alsa-revisions,
across linux-versions and across (quite a few) hardwares.  Both
Snd from this morning and a previous version (from Oct-31st)
behaves like this.

Any clues?
