I've just been trying to sort out sound support here, and hit a bit of a snag.  
MOL finally compiled with ALSA support (after I installed alsa-headers and 
libasound2-dev :), but it's not quite working.  '/etc/mol/molrc.sound" is 
attached.  Relevant snip from the log:

Autoswitching to console
Ethernet Interface (port 1) 'sheep-<eth0>' @ FE:FD:DE:AD:BE:EF
Using ALSA mixer PCM 0 (mixerdevice 'default')
ALSA sound driver (device 'default')
ALSA: failed to setup mixer
MOL SCSI controller registered

So, I'm at a bit of a loss here - what should I be using as a mixer device or 
how can I find out? I'm using alsa 0.9.8 from debian sid, compiled against 
kernel 2.4.24-ben1, Mac-on-Linux 0.9.70-rc2 [Jan 16 2004 19:53].
