I compiled the aloop module and it works fine, but when I try setting up
the asoundrc as described, and use the device, I get.
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
aplay: main:654: audio open error: Invalid argument

Does anyone know what this uninformative error mean? Has anybody ever
had luck with a similar setup?

Hi, I use this setup as described in the wiki page (I wrote that page myself ;) and have no issue.
You should provide the version numbers of libasound and alsa, how they were installed, etc.
Version mismatch can cause this kind of problems I think.
