There is an /etc/alsa/smixer.conf I can test, but I'm not hopeful. I have to assume that some part of alsa lib is reading an old config file, or not finding a file that should be there, and some option is null, producing "empty" and it's blindly trying to find that plugin. But I'll be stuffed if I can trace where that strings gets into the system. -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
