Bug#477800: tkmixer: Doesn't run (can't open /dev/mixer)

[Benjamin Mesing <bensmail@gmx.net>]

tkmixer runs fine, and I believe I have a standard configuration on my
system. Probably the following line fixes the issue:
        /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf: install snd-mixer modprobe --ignore-install snd-mixer $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe --quiet snd-mixer-oss ; : ; }
I am not quite sure where it orginates from, but probably from
alsa-configuration.

Best regards 

Ben
