thanks

We need your amixer output. This error seems to stem from the fact that 
not all widgets have the expected functionality, so amixer reports errors. 
This implies that we need to refactor a few of the initscript's functions 
to check the capability of the widget prior to invoking an action on it.

In other words, not everyone will experience this error, because it's 
codec- and revision-specific.
