Vivek,

Thanks again for the comments and corrections that you have supplied.  I will correct
rc.local from 

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

# martian configuration 
/sbin/modprobe martian_dev
/sbin/alsactl restore

[root@localhost ~]# 

to

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

# martian configuration 
/sbin/modprobe martian_dev
/sbin/salsa -l 

[root@localhost ~]# 

[olivares@localhost ~]$ salsa --help
