ALSA errors when launching gvim

For some reason (the mind boggles as to what), when I launch gvim I get ALSA errors on the console:

ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card 'Intel'
ALSA lib conf.c:4248:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:4248:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:4248:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:4727:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM iec958:Intel

Any idea how I can fix these errors (or at least make gvim not care)?

Re: ALSA errors when launching gvim

A simple grep of vim's sourcecode shows nothing ALSA-related (except for some syntax definitions). So something else is trying to make a noise - what is your "console"?

Re: ALSA errors when launching gvim

I use KDE's konsole. I only see this with gvim.

Re: ALSA errors when launching gvim

Maybe it's a Vim plugin or something. Do you have any plugins installed?

Re: ALSA errors when launching gvim

Nothing ALSA related...

I don't see these errors with vim...only with gvim. I don't know if that makes a difference or not, but it seems possibly KDE-related somehow. I don't know...
