Jordi
Thanks a lot for your response. With your suggestion I could fix the
issue. ... :)

IINM: It wasn't the ~/.asoundrc, that made the problems, but
/etc/asound.conf :)
This is the old one that obviously caused the error:
----------------------------------------

type plug
slave.pcm asymer
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix

ipc_perm 666
# ipc_key_add_uid true

}
}
# These are for alsa-oss
pcm.dsp0 pcm.default
ctl.mixer0 "hw:0"

Here's the diff between the file above, and the new, working
/etc/asound.conf :

The version that seems to work now with my current sound configs:
# apt-cache policy libasound2
libasound2:
Installed: 1.0.13-1
Candidate: 1.0.13-1
Version table:
*** 1.0.13-1 0
990 http://mirror.switch.ch unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Please note I didn't check for a newer version ("aptitude update")
before writing this email. ... :)
So with libasound2 1.0.13-1 it's no problem anymore to play both critter and
barrage. KDE returns no error message any more when logging in.
grep ipc_perm `dpkg -L libasound2 | grep doc`
There are still other pending oddities here with alsa, but I'll go the
powerpc list with those, perhaps. Like the alsamixer does not start
here (Some time ago it did ...):
__________________________
$ alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
______________________________________
Or:
_________________________________
$ asoundconf list
Names of available sound cards:
_______________________
Yes: Nothing, with this last command ...
Odd, because I have sound.
But yes, surely: If I had grepped for all config tags the initial
error message was reporting about, I probably would have found
the solution for #391041 myself:
ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1565:(snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) The field ipc_perm
must be a valid file permission
Thanks for your help, lots ... :)
Best Regards
Wolfgang
