Great news, thanks.

Sadly, this part still isn't working for me.  Here's my audio setup:

root@nitrogen6x:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: imx6qsabrelites [imx6q-sabrelite-sgtl5000], device 0: HiFi sgtl5000-0 []
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: imxhdmisoc [imx-hdmi-soc], device 0: i.MX HDMI Audio Tx hdmi-hifi-0 []
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

When I try this command, I get great sound from my speakers.

root@nitrogen6x:~# aplay /tmp/ItalianCafe_01.wav
Playing WAVE '/tmp/ItalianCafe_01.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo

However, when I try the HDMI via this command, I get no audio:

root@nitrogen6x:~# aplay -D hw:1,0 /tmp/ItalianCafe_01.wav
Playing WAVE '/tmp/ItalianCafe_01.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: pcm_write:1947: write error: Input/output error

Any hints what might be going wrong?
