It turns out that my KDE 3.0.1 complains when I set it to use ALSA (instead of 
auto-detect sound I/O method, set in Control Centre -> Sound -> Sound 
Server), with the message "device: /dev/dsp can't be opened (Sound protocol 
is not compatible)". So perhaps there is a more basic problem?

This may sound stupid, but I don't know how to play a sample loop. The only 
way I can find to do this is to use Konqueror, but in view of the above 
problem, I obviously need a non-KDE method. But also, I don't see any option 
in alsamixer relating to "DAC/ADC Loopback". I also notice that there is an 
"SB Live" column, but it doesn't seem to be possible to change its blank 
setting in any way.

I only have two analogue speakers, so I'd appreciate it if you could send me 
your asound.state. Thanks.
