What do i have to do, to play just 1 wav file on 1 channel (i mean: not 8 at the same time). That would solve all my problems ;). If i play something now, it uses all the channels.
I use the .asoundrc from http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=RME+Hammerfall+.asoundrc in /root/.asoundrc and i have aplay installed, to test everything. I just want to play songs _after_ eachother, not more then 1 song at the same time. I played with something like 'aplay --separate-channels --channels=1 -t wav bla.wav', but it's not right (ofcourse?)
