Can anyone explain this error message and suggest a fix.
Hmm, that looks like some sort of permissions problem. For starters,
what does
ls -ld /var/lib/alsa
ls -ld /root
give you? Maybe someone else has a better idea on where to start
searching, or even exactly what the problem is.

In reply to your question:
root@mysite:/var/lib# ls -ld /var/lib/alsa
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 2012 /var/lib/alsa
root@mysite:/var/lib# ls -ld /root
drwx------ 15 gary gary 4096 Sep 3 18:21 /root
I use /root for a ebook editor and nothing else.
