Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
and of course real player has gone silent. I guess there isn't a module
for this card in the 2.6 kernel. Though I can't understand why it isn't
working because the system seems to have all the right modules
installed. I suppose it isn't surprising that the cd drive is working
as that is hard wired to the card.
The card is referred to in the Creative drivers web site but it isn't a
new card and I would think the kernel should support it.
