I post this here because I _want_ to contribute to alsa development, but I never can get alsa working to even begin. And no, I'm not a moron (I hope). Here is what I did:
1. I got the 2003-06-29.tar file, and I was pleased and suprised when it compiled without errors (except alsa-tools, but that looks unimportant). 2. I ran alsa-driver/snddevices. 3. I loaded the modules: lsmod |grep snd snd-intel8x0 17888 0 snd-mpu401-uart 3584 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 14304 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq 41580 0 (unused) snd-seq-device 4212 0 [snd-rawmidi snd-seq] snd-ac97-codec 36368 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-pcm 66080 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-page-alloc 6116 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm] snd-hwdep 5280 0 snd-timer 16448 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd 35424 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm snd-hwdep snd-timer] 4. Installed alsa-lib into /usr/local. 5. Ran 'aplay -D hw:0,0 alone.wav', this produces: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Invalid argument aplay: main:484: audio open error: Invalid argument What am I doing wrong?
