[Alsa-user] Current version exits on startup

[James T. <ja...@ta...>]

On trying to start the current version of xine (just entering xine at the
command line) I get the following:

This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.9.20
(c) 2000-2003 by G. Bartsch and the xine project team.
Built with xine library 1.0.0 (1-beta10)
Found xine library version: 1.0.0 (1-beta10).

<lots of other information messages, mostly about X that look OK>

main: probing <alsa> audio output plugin
xine_interface: unknown param 10
xine_interface: unknown param 10
xine_interface: unknown param 10
xine_interface: unknown param 10
vo_scale: invalid ratio, using 4:3
vo_scale: unknown aspect ratio (0) in stream => using 4:3
xine: simple.c:1462: snd_mixer_selem_get_playback_volume: Assertion `elem->type == SND_MIXER_ELEM_SIMPLE' failed.
Abort

I am using ALSA 0.9.2, does this look like a xine problem or an Alsa
problem? Or simply a problem of versions?

Both ALSA and Xine are self-built from sources.

xine -A oss works correctly.
