I have butt 0.1.26-1 installed from the default Debian repos. On trying to launch I get the following output.

It would seem that butt/ALSA is not finding my sound card, but I am successfully using QuodLibet for playing audio files and VLC for video (with sound), so am a bit mystified. Guidance would be appreciated and further information will of course be supplied if requested. Many thanks in advance.
