alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #426 was opened from haoyi-codes:

I have initially thought it was a bug that was related to chromium as stated in #425. However, now I realize it has to be something else that is wrong.

`aplay -D default /dev/zero`

``` ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.13/work/alsa-lib-1.2.13/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:1000:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:850: audio open error: No such file or directory ```

`aplay -D plughw:0 /dev/zero`

``` aplay: main:850: audio open error: No such file or directory ```

`aplay -l`

For reference I am still able to play audio on my system as pulseaudio is running but for applications that use alsa directly it does not work.
