If I kill the audio player and start it back up the sound returns so it seems the act of opening and closing Alsa fixes the failure. During the "no sound state" I also opened alsamixer and adjusted (successfully) several alsa settings including volume but the sound still did not resume until I restarted the player.
If I do an strace on aplayer and look at its output after the resume it looks like aplayer is hanging up on trying to read /dev/snd/timer and is getting -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) from it. I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions of what I can do next to further narrow down the problem Regards, Shane
