Package: sox
Version: 12.17.9-1
Severity: normal

When attempting to play or record to an alsa device, sox fails with an ioctl
error. In my case;

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sox msg0000.WAV -t alsa  /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p 
sox: ioctl operation failed 22
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sox -t alsa /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p record.wav
sox: Failed reading /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: ioctl operation failed 22

(I've tried with various options like -b, -w, etc.  before the device name,
with no effect)

Further, sox will hang if any other alsa application is using the soundcard.

As a comparison, other applications on my system use that alsa device fine,
simultaneously (via dmix on the default pcm device).
