I wonder if we're venturing out of user-can't-configure-it land and in to 'bug' land. aplay puddle.wav doesn't give any errors, it just sits there, as if it were playing a really long wav, except nothing gets played... it treats it exactly the same as if I weren't using the dmix plugin and something had the pcm locked.
