'mount' my sound card

[Michael Steigerwald]

That seems to indicate that the daemon is running:

root      5678  0.0  0.0   3088  1444 ?        Ss   Mar06   0:00
/usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 1 -spawnfd 14
pcs      21426  0.0  0.0   2876   792 pts/0    R+   08:09   0:00 grep esd

but starting manually produced some interesting output:

pcs at ubuntu:~$ esd &
[1] 21600
pcs at ubuntu:~$ ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find
card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver
returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat

ALSA lib confmisc.c:1072:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned
error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3962:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2102:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Is there a way to tell ALSA (or whoever) what to do about card '0' ?

TIA
