I get an error when playing a DVD with mplayer:

alsa-control: mixer  attach /dev/mixer error no such file or directory.

It thinks that /dev/mixer isn't available. 

ls -al /dev/mixer
crw-------  1 <me> root 14, 0 Nov 14 04:23 /dev/mixer


However: alsamixer runs just fine.  It turns out the video sound was
disabled.  I ran kmix and enabled video as an input and everything
worked fine.
