[PlanetCCRMA] apt-get and alsaconf

[Joseph Zitt]

OK, installing the built RPMS from
http://www.math.utah.edu/~newren/my-ximian-db4-packages/ did the trick,
and I can now do apt-gets again. Whew.

So with that out of the way, does anyone have any suggestion on this
alsaconf problem? I suspect that I just have to enter a value in a
config file somewhere, but the details are eluding me.
