[PlanetCCRMA] Alsa crash

[Bert Haskins]

My system was working fine untill I did " apt-get upgrade" yo ccrma fc4.

Now, when I do:
   xmms song.wav
A box pops up that says:
"Couldn't open audio
Please check that:
Your soundcard is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the soundcard"

and I get the following:

ALSA lib conf.c:1578:(snd_config_load1) _toplevel_:51:23:No such file or 
directory
ALSA lib conf.c:2823:(snd_config_hook_load) /etc/alsa/cards/aliases.conf 
may be old or corrupted: consider to remove or fix it
ALSA lib conf.c:2686:(snd_config_hooks_call) function 
snd_config_hook_load returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:1959:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM default 
definition (id: default, value: cards.pcm.default)

** WARNING **: alsa_setup(): Failed to open pcm device (default): 
Invalid argument

If I then start Xmms it does play nicely, just like before.

I often use this system, a thinkpad a31, with Rosegarden and fluidsynth 
and now when I try to load fluidsynth I get:

cca_open_socket: could not connect to host 'localhost', service '14541'
cca_init: could not connect to server 'localhost' - disabling ladcca
ALSA lib conf.c:1578:(snd_config_load1) _toplevel_:51:23:No such file or

definition (id: default, value: cards.pcm.default)
fluidsynth: error: Failed to open the "default" audio device

Can any see what the problem is here?

Thanks,
