Is mmap support ever required?  I don't have that support turned on in my PCM driver, so 
could that cause some ALSA applications to fail to match?

Ok, I think I fixed some issues there, but I'm still having problems.

I think part of the problem is that I'm telling ALSA that I only support these sample 
rates: 192000, 96000, 64000, 48000, 32000, and 16000.  For playback, I'm using alsaplayer 
to play an MP3.  Could it be that alsaplayer is picking a sample rate like 44100 and since 
it doesn't find a match, it's failing?  I thought ALSA always did sample rate conversion. 
  Is that not true?
