the only error messages i can provoke is from xamimer2:
root@homer:/home/maasha# xamixer2
Unable to get hardware information about card #0!
Error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Trying to guess the appropriate values.
Unable to open mixer #0 on card #0~
Error: No such file or directory
Unable to get the info for mixer #0 on card 0! Error: Invalid argument
There's not much more I can do on this mixer. Shutting it down.
Oh well. I couldn't even close the mixer. I suspect that something is
seriously wrong here. Good luck.
