Thanks very much - everything works when I su to root. The permissions
of the device in question follow - what is the rational thing to do
here? I don't want to include myself in the 'root' group, do I? And what
the heck is '14,'? And 'c' as a file type? A few new ones on me...

It could be a permission problem.
Check the owner and permissions of /dev/mixer when you're
logged in on the console and when you're logged in via
ssh/PuTTY.
