Default Pro Tools could not initialize the current playback device

I've been greeted by this a few times:
Pro Tools could not initialize the current playback device. Please make sure that the device has een configured correctly.
It happens if I've used my M-Audio device when last using Pro Tools 9 then later try to use it with Core Audio.



Any idea how to stop this?

Trashing the file Library>Preferences>com.digidesign.ProTools.plist worked when I first got this, but now it doesn't.

I did a clean install of 9.0 then the supplied new driver and now it's good. Going to 9.0.1 next.
