[PlanetCCRMA] Trouble with ALSA - .asoundrc

[Jorma R]

Hi, 

I am having slight trouble configuring alsa.

I tried to create pcm slaves according to the documentation but adding 
anything on slaves into my .asoundrc makes ALSA unable to start.

even the simplest possible slave:

	pcm_slave.sltest {
     		pcm 
	}

Gives me the error below.

All other configuretions suggested in the ALSA documentation give the 
same errors.

I am running RH 9 with Kernel 2.4.25-1.ll.rh90.ccrma with ALSA 
1.0.3-1.cvs.rh90.ccrma.

Is this an ALSA problem or just misconfiguration on my part?

Thanks,

-jorma
