Does it hang completely? Can you use the mouse/keyboard, switch terminal with Ctrl+Alt+Fn?

There's a problem at kernel level then... please post your 'emerge info', and try to see if you can gather some information by trying different version of alsa drivers (if you use alsa), different kernel versions, and so on...

Could you attach a sample .kar file, please!?
