I was being led astray by 
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php ,
which begins in no uncertain terms:
"Neither of the .asoundrc or alsa.conf files are required for
 ALSA to work properly."
Maybe someone should update that! ;-)

My cross-build Makefile really should have installed
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf for me but I'll fix that now.

Is there something that needs to be in "the other config files"
for a basic installation like mine? E.g. should the text I
erroneously copied from the "The default plugin" section of
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php
go into .asoundrc? aplay seems to be working for me, anyway.

I didn't find a .asoundrc in my distribution:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/trunk$ find build_mipsel/alsa-lib-1.0.13 -name
'.asoundrc' -print
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/trunk$

Sorry to be such a dodo-head here, but I'm lost in the docs.

Much obliged,
  Chuck
