h!

this is the output of alsasound attempting to start:

//-
delire:/home/delire/# alsasound start
Starting sound driver: snd-maestro3 done
/usr/bin/alsactl: set_controls:980: snd_ctrl_open error: No such file or directory
//-

of course if i run the snddevices script, alll is well and it starts normally. only, i 
have to do this after each restart.

thanks for assisting unravelling this mystery!!
