Addendum: The PCM volume setting in gnome-volume-control was not retained after each clip after removing alsa-base and alsa-utils. It was necessary to reinstall those packages in order to get alsactl, which saves the state of the sound card. :-(
But, a fresh install after purge got rid of the annoying FATAL error message(s). :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
