Make sure you have a supported soundcard in the core. The AppServer device segfaults if amixer fails to detect the mixer. The fix involves adding a sound care or added a fake sound card as below:

−
modprobe snd-dummy

−
Make it permanent by adding snd-dummy to the end of /etc/modules by
+
−
vi /etc/modules
+
−
and adding snd-dummy to bottom of file.
