Hi Christophe,
i agree w/ you -- oss modules aren't needed for alsa apps. since aplay produces
an error message, the primary problem is with your alsa installation, not your
external connections, etc.
i don't understand why aplay doesn't find your card either. just a guess, but
did you run ./snddevices out of the alsa-driver directory? what about your
kernel -- is it configured with soundcore as a module and no other sound drivers
selected?
btw, what version of alsa-drivers are you using?
patrick
ps: i'm running Alsa0.9.0beta8a and found a bit of code in
~/alsa/utils/aplay/aplay.c that generates your error. i'm guessing your version
of alsa has something similar. maybe this would be helpful ? are your
alsa-utils and alsa-libs up-to-date with your driver?
