           Summary: Alsa plufin for pulseaudio
           Product: OpenMoko

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

An alsa application such as aplay can fail returning: 
aplay: main:545: audio open error: Device or resource busy

because pulseaudio (or another alsa app) is using /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p

A solution would be to install the alsa plugin for pulseaudio [1].

Could you please add these packages?
They already exist in openembedded:
libasound-module-ctl-pulse - 1.0.14-r0 - Alsa plugin for ctl-pulse
libasound-module-pcm-pulse - 1.0.14-r0 - Alsa plugin for pcm-pulse

Note:
once the packages are installed
aplay -Dpulse file.wav 
works :-), since /etc/asound.conf already defines a pulse device.

For having this behaviour by default, these lines can be added to
/home/root/.asoundrc

pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}


For some reason, it does not work if these lines are added to /etc/asound.conf
