Volume Control (alsaaudio): No such file or directory

[fnybny]

this is for awn(code):
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/awn/extras/awnlib.py", line 1580, in init_start

ALSAAudioError: No such file or directory

Per the bug reporting guidelines on the bug reporting page, we need the following information:

* Distribution name and version
* Method of installing Awn and Awn Extras (if via repository, which repository? If from source, via tarball or bzr?)
* Awn version (if from bzr, which branch and which revision?)

In this case, we'd probably appreciate any information on the sound card(s) in the computer in question.

I guess you are using old versions of the testing ppa's (bzr) because volume control now uses gstreamer instead of python-alsaudio and bzr rev. 545 of awn itself fixed a bug that caused not to display an error dialog when runtime dependencies are not met.
