amixer no longer working when using 2.6.15

[John Covici <covici@ccs.covici.com>]

Hi.  I am trying to use kernel 2.6.15 and whenever I try to use amixer
I get the following error:

ALSA lib simple_none.c:1216:(simple_add1) helem (MIXER,'Front Playback
Volume',0,0,0) appears twice or more
amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument

I am using Debian SID and have the latest versions of the appropriate
alsa packages.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
