You seem to have sox installed, so try

$ sox foo.wav -t alsa default

Playback results in infinite loop over the first quarter second or so of audio. Using "aplay" results in same looping behavior over a longer segment of audio -- maybe a half second.

and

$ sox foo.wav -t ossdsp /dev/dsp

Identical results to using "play" (as expected): for the 50K ".wav" file, I hear the entire file approx. 1.8 times.

I tried a few rmmod/insmod cycles with different values for dma2. Results as follows:

(a) dma2=1 (== dma1): no change (b) dma2 option omitted : no change (c) dma2=-1 : probe failed
