I think I found the problem.  When I do an strace on aplay -l, it
appears to be trying to load the alsa.conf from /usr/share/alsa, but it
is prefixed with the path to the staging directory.  I would assume
then, that there is a problem with the paths in package/alsa-lib/alsa-
lib.mk and package/alsa-utils/alsa-utils.mk.
