Setting "Settings>Miscellaneous>Audio device" to "plughw:0" indeed makes a 
difference. Sometimes I even get a very short snippet of sound. But then it 
just goes into a loop with:

"aw2 ~ # gwc
Current stack limit: 8388608 bytes
leaving start with audio_playback=1
##########################################################
audio_device_nonblocking_write_buffer_size: snd_pcm_avail_update
Broken pipe
##########################################################
audio_device_processed_bytes: snd_pcm_delay
Broken pipe"
(in this case it went directly into a loop)

This card is a bit different from the rest since it doesn't use the mixer, 
everything goes directly to the card. So maybe I have to set the output 
channels also in that box. Does anyone knows how to do that?

So it really looks as alsa is not usable. This is a pity since from 2.6.x this 
is the preferred way of working. Even better would be a jack interface since 
then even all routing would be taken care of.

Bigger problem is that OSS emulation on the Hammerfall is not usable for one 
reason or another. So I will have to add another soundcard (or worse, get the 
onboard sound working).

Johan
