This is more than a convention. Th
Thanks! This confirms my theory that the bug is in the kernel. I think
that the dmasound module which you are using as your sound driver contains
uninitialised static variables, which are supposed to contain 0 initially
but in fact contain rubbish - in your case it happens to be -1, which is
an i

This was bug 244474 (which I closed since the problem had disappeared).
I have the same problem with 2.6.9-powerpc. A strace gives:

open("/dev/mixer", O_RDWR) = 9
ioctl(9, 0x40044dfe, 0x100c7f74)= 0
ioctl(9, 0x40044dfb, 0x100c7f78)= 0
ioctl(9, 0x40044dfd, 0x100c
