Thanks for your help but that still did not do it. I've created an .asoundrc file in my home dir with the stuff you gave me and then did the aplay call. Here's the resulting output:
aplay -Ddsp1 <sndfile> ALSA lib conf.c:1415:(snd_config_load) _toplevel_:15:0:Unexpected char ALSA lib conf.c:2452:(snd_config_hook_load) /Users/ico/.asoundrc may be old or corrupted: consider to remove or fix it ALSA lib conf.c:2296:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load returned error: Unknown error ALSA lib conf.c:2671:(snd_config_update) hooks failed, removing configuration aplay: main:446: audio open error: Unknown error This obviously tells me there is something wrong with the syntax within the provided .asoundrc stuff. But since my experience with the asoundrc is non-existent, I would greatly appreciate more input regarding this issue. Also, I would greatly appreciate a complete version of an .asoundrc file from someone who uses RME soundcard. Thank you!
