I am now trying with my capture program, "myprog.cpp" instead of "aplay.c".

------------------------------- % alsacap ; alscap -R ------------------------------- Card 2, ID `Orpheus', name `Orpheus' Device 0, ID `BeBoB', name `Orpheus PCM', 1 subdevices (1 available) 12 channels, sampling rate 44100..44100 Hz Sample formats: S16_LE, S32_LE Subdevice 0, name `subdevice #0'

Card 2, ID `Orpheus', name `Orpheus' Device 0, ID `BeBoB', name `Orpheus PCM', 1 subdevices (1 available) 10 channels, sampling rate 44100..44100 Hz Sample formats: S32_LE Subdevice 0, name `subdevice #0'

------------------------------- % myprog hw:2,0 44100 10 ------------------------------- Sound::Sound: sound_device = hw:2,0, rate = 44100, channels = 10 Sound::asound_set_hwparams: begin... Sound::asound_set_hwparams: buffer_time = 92879, dir = 1 Sound::asound_set_hwparams: buffer_size = 4096 Sound::asound_set_hwparams: period_time = 46439 , dir = 1 Sound::asound_set_hwparams: period_size = 2048, dir = 0 Sound::asound_set_hwparams: Unable to set hw params: Connection timed out Sound::Sound: setting of hwparams failed. Connection timed out

------------------------------- Sound::asound_set_hwparams(snd_pcm_t *, snd_pcm_hw_params_t *) ------------------------------- err = snd_pcm_hw_params_any(handle, params); err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_resample(handle, params, resample); err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(handle, params,

err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(handle, params, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S32_LE); //if Orphesu err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(handle, params, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16); //else

err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(handle, params, channels); err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near(handle, params, &rrate, 0); err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near(handle, params, &buffer_time, err = snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size(params, &size); err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near(handle, params, &period_time, err = snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size(params, &size, &dir);

err = snd_pcm_hw_params(handle, params); if (err < 0) { cout << "Sound::asound_set_hwparams: Unable to set hw params: " << snd_strerror(err) << endl; return err; }

------------------------------- No messages were found in % demsg and % cat /var/log/syslog concerning the above run of % myprog.

So is it (partly) due to "Connection timed out"?
