I have built the kernel image with ALSA audio support and the applications aplay and arecord for playing and recording audio data using ALSA api.

I have got the alsa related entries in the /proc filesystem . But when playing the aplay, it failed to open the device.

[root@SIRIUS /flash2]#./aplay /usr/local/Songs/AjRaj-Anthimanthirai-Theme4.mp3 ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Apparently, alsa-lib's .conf files are not installed in /usr/share/alsa/.
