My mistake, XMMS works if I select the emu10k1 device.
aplay tells me "aplay: set_params:882: Sample format
non available" on the USB card if I specify it with
the -D option, but it works automagically if I don't
specify any device.

If I unplug it while aplay is playing then aplay says
"underrun!!! (at least 0.053 ms long)". I need to kill
all programs that use alsa (like kmix) before the USB
card can be used again, aplay works properly after
this.
