I thought that command I tried was a little crazy, but it looked similar
to some stuff I saw in the docs, so I tried it. :)

I had tried using the 'alsactl store; vi /etc/asound.conf; alsactl restore'
cycle with the release version, before I tried the wacky command.  I changed
the Joystick switch line to 

switch( "Joystick", true )

before restore the configuration.   When I catted /proc/asound/0/audiopci,
I still saw

Joystick enable  : off

as one of the lines in the output.

At your suggustion, I tried the cvs version, but there was still no effect
on the Joystick line in /proc/asound/0/audiopci.

Thanks for the help,
John
