But does it return a prompt after the expected playing time?
Does an audio CD play audibly (or mic. or line in) ?

/proc/asound/oss/sndstat is about OSS emulation. Aplay and amixer, as
native ALSA applications _don't_ need this.

And the ALSA 0.5.x series is deprecated. And ALSA 0.9.x is part of the
development kernel series 2.5.x ....
If all else fails, try ALSA 0.5.x, if you get that working the problem
should be solvable in the 0.9.x series I think :)
