this error happens usually when an older version of alsa-lib /
alsa-utils are installed.  please check the version of alsa-lib.
(must be linked to libasound.so.2)

no.  you can initialize the mixer part even in open of pcm callbacks,
if it's not necessarily configurable.

generally modprobe resolves the dependency, i.e. just load the
top-level module like

        # modprobe snd-yourdriver

then all low-level drivers will be loaded.

well, unmute...?  if there is no mixer, the device should be always
unmuted, or as mentioned above, toggle mute/unmute at open/close.

anyway, i would advise you to post your working code (or its URL) to
alsa-devel ML, so that other developers can take a look.


ciao,

Takashi
