Hi all
When inserting module snd, modprobe bails out saying
snd: Unknown parameter 'device_mode'
The result is that the sound is completely unavailable. This happens
with -test4 and -test5 (and -test5-mm2), but it was OK up to -test3,
IIRC.
Sorry if this was already reported

remove the parameter (device_mode). It could be in modprobe.conf, or in
your modprobe command line. There could be possibly others, obsoleted
parameters, so be prepared to remove more.
Hi Stefano!

This is a configuration error: check modprobe.conf for the options for snd and
remove the 'device_mode' part. Looks like the debian alsa stuff has this small
incompatibility with the 0.9.6 kernel modules. BTW, I had the problem with
-test3 already.
I am by no means an ALSA expert, but this solved the problem for me.
Ciao,

Right, too easy, more than what I thought (it's easy to give the fault
to the kernel in these -testX days :P)
Thanks
