That running alsamixer says it can't run because of the above error message, and that the directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/ doesn't exist on my machine.

That would certainly explain why I couldn't find it :-)

I didn't know about apt-file, but it does find alsa-lib (and the module alsamixer was looking for) -- in libasound2-plugins, so I installed it. Now:

Do I need to do something about pulsaAudio? I think I've read that it's possible to deal with just alsa. No? (I haven't done any audio work on Debian since the Lenny days.)
