doing an strace -eopen alsamixer yeilds:
[tchriste@PAVERA downloads]$ strace -eopen alsamixer
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3

open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
However those devices do exist as shown here:
[tchriste@PAVERA downloads]$ cd /dev/snd
[tchriste@PAVERA snd]$ ls -la contr*
