Thanks, I will look at those. Something tells me though that it could be
more complicated. After playing around with runscript.sh, I noticed that
after a call to a function called wrap_script, any signs of alsasound
being launched completely disappeared. Now, netmount is also a startup
script and it's in the same runlevel. So, while alsasound disappears
after wrap_script, netmount keeps going and gets launched OK. When I
commented out wrap_script, alsasound WAS launched but the "start"
parameter for the alsasound script was missing. 

The wrap_script function is a bit of a mystery to me. It wraps the
original alsasound script (or any other startup one for that matter) in
a function called "test" (if I remember it right), then sources it, then
runs that function.

The links and permissions are right for sure.

Thanks,
