Bug#416207: artsd ALSA failure - looks like same thing

[Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>]

Hi!

On my Debian sid installation also get a similar failure

sharon: -grantma- [~]
$ artsd
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1105:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find 
definition 'defaults.pcm.dmix_format'
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned 
error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:3957:(snd_config_expand) Args evaluate error: No such file or 
directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:2143:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM dmix:CK8S
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such file or directory)


Machine is a an NForce 3 SN95G2 shuttle, running i386 Debian unstable with Xen 
kernel compiled form Debian sources.

lspci lists sound card is a 

Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce3 250Gb AC'97 Audio 
Controller (rev a1)

Hope that this is helpful.  Useing OSS emulation is a workaround
