This error message is generated by the ao record support when the device 
support's init_record() routine returns any value other than 0 or 2; that's 
all I can tell you based on your report.  You'll have to take a look at 
the "PSC" device support for the ao record and work out why it's returning 
something different, what it means and how to fix it.
