man aplay
the useful information is given by "aplay -L", which lists
19 devices, among which 2 are working:
sysdefault:CARD=Generic
plughw:CARD=Generic,DEV=0
aplay -D hw:1,0
this also gives
aplay: set_params:1299: Sample format non available
or -Dplughw:1,0
this works, and also -Dplughw:Generic
Actually, I found the plughw syntax by accident, when trying once
aplay file.wav, which gave:
Playing WAVE 'file.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 11025 Hz, Stereo
Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 11025Hz, got = 44100Hz)
please, try the plug plugin (-Dplug:default)
I appreciate this comment in the alsa doc:
It would be even nicer if the --help and man output of aplay would
define what NAME of "--device=NAME" should be set to. Then people
would not have to search the Internet to find out.
