As an evil follow-up to self, I've managed to remove this error by updating the alsa-libs to 1.0.4 (there's a bugzilla entry for something similar) from http://people.redhat.com/~walters/alsa/ Have just been kicked off the AG, as they're using it with AG1, so I can't yet test it's behaving properly, but it was no longer producing the error on the command line, so here's hoping. jh -- "I mean, if 10 years from now, when you are doing something quick and dirty, you suddenly visualize that I am looking over your shoulders and say to yourself, "Dijkstra would not have liked this", well that would be enough immortality for me." -- Edsgar Wybe Dijkstra
