[Voyage-linux] Problems with Alsa

[Philip A. Chapman]

Guys,

I figured it out.  All I had to do is put "default_driver=alsa"
in /ro/etc/libao.conf so that libao uses alsa instead of its default of
alsa09.

Voyage is a *great* distro.  I have really enjoyed working with it.
It's been easy to work with and for the most part, it just works(tm).
Being based off of debian is fantastic.  Whatever extra stuff you need
is apt-get'able.

Thanks,
