No. They are only necessary if you want to create non-hw based or hw+sw based alsa devices. My people will have some because it used to be necessary to create a dmix device in order to enable software mixing. If anything, the *presence* of an asound.conf / asoundrc would be more likely to be causing trouble than the *absence* thereof. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
