Exactly the same problem testing for me. I can cat to
the oss devices /dev/dsp for instance, but its useless. Cannot cat to the
/dev/snd devices I get the same errors as you, and interestingly they are
different to the ALSO mini-howto. But try using just 'play' to get sound. It
seems to be great with me which I assume means it using the native
drivers.
Otherwise, we have different problems. Which wouldn't
suprise me at all

Subject: [Alsa-user] problems with snd-ens1371
I have a problem getting my soundblaster 128PCI working, I used this card + the snd-ens1371 driver on a gentoo box with out problems.
But after moving the card over into a slackware box, i cant seem to get it working.
The wierdest thing though, is that modprobe snd-ens1371 SEEMS to work. Meaning:
1. lsmod shows ALL the nice alsa modules is loaded.
2. /proc/asound is created, and looks fine..
3. /dev/snd is created, and looks fine.. (though, it looks like the permissions are not the permissions ive setup in devfsd.conf)
But, if i try to access(cat files to them) any of my devices. Like /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c , i get alot of differnet errors:
pcmC0D0c = File descriptor in bad state
pcmC0D0p = Invalid argument
midiC0D0 = input/output error
Any help/pointers would be very welcome :)
/Daniel
