[linrad] Help, I've killed my audio

[Terry <terry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Guys,

   I've done something really stupid and now linrad doesn't work without 
configuring ALSA everytime I boot the computer.   The audio works fine 
under KDE when the pc boots but not for linrad.   Can anyone tell me what 
I've done?

   If I run linrad with out running alsaconf first, linrad tries to 
configure the audio and the pc locks up with this on the screen...

   "trying to open /dev/dsp RDWR. Device defective if hangs here. Read 
soundboard_init.log"

So I rebooted the pc and here is what is in soundboard_init.log...
Checking /dev/dsp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/dsp opened as WRONLY
16bit format supported
Max no of channels = 4
Max input speed 48000 Hz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not much help.   Here is the end of my modules.conf file...

If I type in dmesg here is a portion of what I get...

   Obviously I've managed to mess up something but I don't know what or 
how to fix it.   Any ideas would be great.
