I have used Mandriva Control Centerl to disable pulseaudio and select alsa
driver .
Perform logout and login by MCC

aplay -v test.wav  indicate that it is using dmix

there is no driver specified in .mplayer/config but when I run

mplayer -v test.wav

AO : [pulse] 44100 Hz

it seem that mplayer auto spawn PA server .

Did I miss out anything to disable pulseaudio since I assume that MCC had
performed all the necessary action ?

more /etc/asound/profiles/alsa/canberra.conf
CANBERRA_DRIVER=alsa

but

ls /etc/asound/profiles/current seem to be empty
