aplay -l

So trying:
  aplay -d hw:1,0 my.wav

  It just stalls like this:

aplay -d hw:1,0 W.P.A._CaseyBillWelden.wav 
Playing WAVE 'W.P.A._CaseyBillWelden.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little
  Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo

And ditto for hw:1,1

Just hangs right there ... seems to go no furhter.

-------        ---------       ---=---       ---------      -------- 

However I get joy with:

mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0 W.P.A._CaseyBillWelden.wav 

Thank you  very much
