[oss-devel] soundoff /dev/mixer: No such device or address

[Clive Wright]

Reported the following 2 days ago on the OSS developers forum though 
from reading the developers site front page it appears I should have 
posted here.

A problem with the latest GPL test drop: 
oss-v4.0-build1005rc2-src-gpl.tar.bz2

If /usr/lib/oss/etc/userdefs contains:
autosave_mixer yes

running soundoff does not save mixer settings and the following error is 
displayed:
/dev/mixer: No such device or address

This appears to be caused by /usr/sbin/savemixer running after the oss 
kernel modules are removed.

The following patch will provide a quick fix:
