Grave means absoluty unusable, on each pattform. You_re one out of
48.000 alsa-utils users (popcon participants). I bet, you can hear
sound even if those messages are persist. Maybe it is pulsaudio?
Well, on my powebook I didn't have had such messages while booting
and i enjoy sound ;-) Try to compile alsa-source_1.0.19 for your
plattform and report again.
