I'm just using alsa for the first time. It seems to be configured and working ok; xmms works, I have /dev/asound directory with lots of files in it, and so on. But alsactl does not work:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>alsactl store alsactl: No soundcards found... Strace shows it is trying to open a lot of files in /dev like /dev/snd/* and /dev/aload*. I don't have any of those device files, what is supposed to create them? -- see shy jo
