Bob, Yes, that also worked just fine. The only problem remaining is my volume plugin for gkrellm does not come back up with my controls enabled: After every reboot, I have to reconfigure the plug in to have volume sliders for Master, PCM, CD, etc etc. This happens if I blacklist it or set alsa priority to -2 -- Damon L.
