Works fine, except I get an infinite number of this error printed:
ALSA lib control.c:817:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL /dev/mixer
Failed to open mixer device /dev/mixer

However, /dev/mixer exists and has full permissions for group audio (which
user belongs to). I also tried /dev/sound/mixer which is the link from
/dev/mixer. Also prints infinite errors.

Audio seems to play fine though.

However, the error is annoying.

pyalsaaudio 0.2
alsa-lib 1.0.10

Any clue where this is coming from? Seems like alsa-lib is getting the
wrong device name.
