You might want to do dmesg to check this after booting. Are the major and minor of the device file set correctly? Are the permissions of the /dev/audio and /dev/audio0 set correctly? Did you check another package that uses the sounddriver to narrow in the possibilities? > > I never saw this error when I did the same using version 2.1.7. Do I > something wrong ??

Standards are changing, but I really don't know why this change is made -- possibly because all non system configuration files should go into /usr/local/etc or a subdir thereof. > - Maybe a stupid question.
