OK, sorry for a delay in reply - I haven't rebooted since last mail.

I have something _really_ peculiar ongoing on here (ignoring PnP - this isn't
my issue now, I feel).

Info (lspci):
00:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07)
00:0f.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port (rev
07)

This morning I built and installed 2.6.15.4. On reboot, I got control errors
again ('alsactl restore' is run from rc.local):

Sorting SB Live! sound (alsactl restore)...
alsactl: set_control:894: warning: name mismatch (Sigmatel Surround Playback
Volume/Sigmatel Surround Playback Switch) for control #47
alsactl: set_control:896: warning: index mismatch (0/0) for control #47
alsactl: set_control:1008: bad control.47.value index

Ummm. At the command line, same errors also. So I deleted /etc/asound.state
and reconfigured alsamixer from scratch. Then following 'alsactl store',
'alsactl restore' completes without issue (i.e. works clean).

If I then reboot, the same damn control #47 errors happen again. It's as if
something changes my asound.state file at boot time time?

Ideas? This is driving me potty.
