Awesome!  It works like a charm.  Than you so much!  The one thing that 
doesn't work quite right is that I get the following error when 
RealPlayer attempts to access the mixer:

ALSA lib control.c:601:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL mixer0

Is there a simple way to get it to control the mixer?  Currently, I have 
to bring up alsamixergui to turn up the volume.

Thanks again,
