Hello,
I just intalled alsa support VIA the online tutorial and everything seems to be in working order. However when I run the aplay command on a WAV file I get this error msg:
Code:

 aplay /usr/share/sounds/gnibbles/laughter.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/gnibbles/laughter.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
ALSA lib pcm.c:824:(snd_pcm_sw_params) snd_pcm_sw_params: params->avail_min problem for start_threshold
aplay: set_params:924: unable to install sw params:
start_mode: DATA
xrun_mode: STOP
tstamp_mode: NONE
period_step: 1
sleep_min: 0
avail_min: 1000
xfer_align: 1000
silence_threshold: 0
silence_size: 0
boundary: 524288000

Does anyone know why this is happening. I searched the boards and no one else seems to have this problem. I'm using the Ensoniq ES1371 sound driver.
Thanks
T

Try:
Code:
# aplay -D plug:hw:0 <filename>

to make sure its not a file -> device format problem.
