Hello
As Alsa-User mailinglist could not help, I hopefully sent my mail to this list now.
I am playing around, trying to get this sound card working for a while now.
The Hardware is an embedded Geode GX1. Kernel is vanilla 2.6.25.9.

No one is using the sound device. But strace shows error 'Device or resource busy'. The thing that confuses me is the output of 'aplay -L'...
Any help is appreciated :-)...
