K, I tried that.  And, I also tried re-running alsaconf.  But, I keep 
getting "field card is not an integer".  

Here's what I have installed:
alsa-tools-1.0.9-0.1.rc1.rhfc3.ccrma
alsa-firmware-1.0.8-1.rhfc3.ccrma
alsa-utils-1.0.9-0.1.rc1.rhfc3.ccrma
alsa-patch-bay-1.0.0-2.rhfc2.ccrma
alsa-lib-1.0.9-0.1.rc1.rhfc3.ccrma
alsa-oss-1.0.9-0.1.rc1.rhfc3.ccrma
kernel-module-alsa-2.6.11-0.3.rdt.rhfc3.ccrma-1.0.9-0.1.rc1.rhfc3.ccrma
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.9-0.1.rc1.rhfc3.ccrma
alsa-driver-1.0.9-0.1.rc1.rhfc3.ccrma

I'm using the Fedora supplied kernel:

[root at kubik ~]# uname -r
2.6.11-1.14_FC3

Not sure what "pcm_softvol.c:689:(parse_control_id)" is trying to read, 
but it seems some configuration is messed up. I tried an "strace" on 
artsd to see what happens.  The last file opened before the error 
is /proc/cpuinfo.  Before that all the /usr/share/alsa/* config stuff 
is opened.  This is all properly symlinked over to /etc/alsa and the 
read is successful.

ltrace doesn't provide anything useful but munged C++ function calls all 
over.  

Is my only hope to download the source and use GDB?

thanks,
