[Voyage-linux] Audio on Alix 3d3

[Russell Lang]

> how is your experience with the audio configuration over Voyage 0.6.2 ?

Here is how I got audio working on my Alix

To get sound working on the Alix3c3:
  remountrw
  apt-get update
  apt-get install alsa-base
  apt-get install alsa-utils
  remountro
This installs way too many files for what I want.  I suspect I only want
2 files from alsa-utils (amixer and aplay), and possibly a few libraries.

The initial state of the sound mixer is that all volumes are 0% and are muted.
  amixer sset Master 100% unmute
  amixer sset Headphone 100% unmute
  amixer sset PCM 100% unmute
  aplay kookaburra.wav

This will allow root to play sounds, but not an ordinary user.
Either edit /etc/group and add the account to the audio group line, 
or create a user account:
  useradd -c "Real Name" -d /home/username -m -G users -G audio username
