[PlanetCCRMA] Failure starting ALSA with an MAudio Delta 66

[Martin Visser]

I think I get the same behaviour with my Tascam USB module. I could do
store and restore and card 1 , but the script failed. (the tascam only
has hardware mixers so store doesn't really do anything anyway). I
just thought the error wasn't a real problem - just looks untidy
