pitti UH?
pitti ls -l just displayed it
blahrus_ i know :(
pitti bah, this sucks
pitti can you please open a bug report about this?
blahrus_ i know, the system rocks . . . other than this
pitti and include this IRC log (I can paste it
pitti , too)
pitti I have to think over this
It seems likely that there is a mixer channel which needs to be unmuted; please
try *all* of the controls, not only master and PCM.
