When sndconfig sets up the aliases in modules.conf for the emu10k1 driver (Sound Blaster Live! cards), it creates a line: alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 However, it should also create an alias sound-service-0-0 emu10k1 line because apparently the driver does not register the name properly? There may be other sound-service lines that need to be added, but this was the only one that consistently generated an error in /var/log/messages on bootup I used the rh7.2 sndconfig to set up my card, if I remember correctly (it was long ago).
sndconfig is no longer developed, and this release has reached end-of-life. Closing out old bugs.
