[linux-audio-user] Getting alsaplayer to work with Audiophile

[Frank Barknecht]

Hallo,

I have a M-Audio Audiophile card (snd-ice1712) in my box, and for
month I cannot get alsaplayer to work with it in ALSA-mode. I
currently use 
$ alsaplayer --version
alsaplayer 0.99.70
from the unstable Debian package.

But it didn't work with any prior version. Actually I like alsaplayer,
because it runs very stable without dropouts, but in my case it
doesn't deserve its name. This is the error I keep getting when
starting alsaplayer ("-d default", "-d hw:0" all give the same):

$ alsaplayer

Yeah, "trying OSS", you wimp! ;) 

Has anyone with an Audiophile alsaplayer working? 

ciao
