Duncan, I am the lead developer of Kino. The crashing in Capture is reported by
other Ubuntu users in the kinodv.org forum. I run Kubuntu Breezy at work on the
stock kernel, and I can not reproduce it.

The ALSA errors are very straightforward. You do not have an ALSA "default"
device. Why is that? Are your drivers not loaded? If you have aplay, aplay -L
will show all the possible ALSA pcm devices (any word beginning in first column).
