Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.4-2

Since I've upgraded alsa-base to 1.0.4-2, I get on boot up the message
"Restoring ALSA mixer settings ... failed:
	 You may want to run 'alsactl restore' manually to view any errors."

With 1.0.4-1 the restoring function leads to no error message. 

When running "alsactl restore" manually, alsactl says that it couldn't find
a soundcard. When I starting kde and running alsactl then, I didn't get any
error. 

I think this problem depends on devfs, which I use.

Kernel: 2.4.26-lck1
devfs
alsa-base & alsa-source: 1.0.4-2

Quoting from alsa-base's NEWS file, in regards to the 1.0.4-2 release:

    - Modules are no longer loaded in the /etc/init.d/alsa script. Modules
      should be loaded via standard mechanisms such as /etc/modules,
      /etc/modprobe.d/, /etc/modutils/, discover, or hotplug.

This leads to believe that during startup, the modules for your sound
card aren't loaded. I suggest you add the driver your soundcard uses
to /etc/modules, and then sound should work. And devfs is probably
loading the OSS modules when KDE attempts to access the sound device.

Cheers,
