Gnome prints a error about being unable to access /dev/sound/mixer if you dont have a sound card loaded when it starts. Not sure what's the best fix for this is, but I still thought I'd let you know.
hmm, this is esd accessing, or attempting to access, the sound. Disabling ESD (which happens) is one solution, but I'm not sure of a proper "fix" for it, since it appears to be the thing that happens if you launch any sound app without having a soundcard configured...
This is just a warning message, if you disable sound server startup in the gnome settings does it still show ? if not it isn't a bug imo.
i dont think its gnome btw, i think its the volume applet. Just remove it ;)
db fix
