I tried that. Ainit only seems to be dealing with dmix, and dsnoop. I've had 
all sorts of sound apps playing with ainit stopped. It's ironic. I've often 
had problems not getting the sound working, but never an instance of trying 
to stop it, and it won't stop. lol.

Janina has just suggested copying the alsasound script from my FC5 with 
planetccrma install, to the FC5 without planetccrma. I'm gonna try that. It 
will be an interesting experiment.

Apart from that, it would appear that with FC5 OOTB there is no way to stop, 
start, or restart Alsa, apart from shutting down, and rebooting.

As always, I'm willing to be proved wrong, and shot down in flames.

Nigel.
