If you have recently updated ALSA, check to see if you have all the alsa pcm plugins you need. I just enable all of them to save myself some headache. It looks like you don't have the asym plugin compiled. (Hint: look at emerge --verbose --pretend alsa-lib ; you can set ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS in /etc/make.conf) W -- "I assume you've all done stationary phase integrals...right?" ~DeathMech, S. Sondhi.
