I have gotten an upgrade of ALSA and all the source engine games are mute.

If I downgrade ALSA (just the userland, no need to touch the kernel) then they work again.

SDLAUDIO: SDL_OpenAudioDevice() failed: ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: Invalid argument

I get this error message on the console.
