14 If you have recently updated ALSA, check to see if you have all the
15 alsa pcm plugins you need. I just enable all of them to save myself
16 some headache. It looks like you don't have the asym plugin compiled.
17
18 (Hint: look at emerge --verbose --pretend alsa-lib ; you can set
19 ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS in /etc/make.conf)
