I have to check this one first. I tried the default configuration from http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php and used aplay to play a WAV file, but this only causes an error: aplay: set_params:906: Channels count non available -- Greetings, Markus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
