Re: Sound on Linux?

I assume that in alsamixer, at the bottom of each slide there should a 
"00" indication, not "MM", to indicate "open".  The "master" and "PCM" 
(What is PCM?) were "00" and full on, but not the others.  For good 
measure I changed them all to "00" and full on.  I still could not open 
an audio CD or a newscast.

I then exited my user and entered it again.  As instructed I ran "aplay 
/usr/share/sound/alsa/*.wav" which returned the following:

aplay: main:550: audio open error: Device or resource busy

I find that strange, as the the CDROM drive was empty, nor could I see 
any application open, except icedove and a terminal emulator.
