Still no sound, though:

#aplay -Dplug:dmix Any_Dream_Will_Do.wav
ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:741:(snd_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) unable to
install hw params
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:728:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to initialize slave
aplay: main:508: audio open error: Device or resource busy

PS: I'm also unable to address the mixer on the Multiface via amixer.
amixer contents includes:

numid=5,iface=HWDEP,name='Mixer'
  ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---,values=3,min=0,max=65536,step=1
  : values=0,0,65535

But, this was set using hdspmixer. I cannot seem to divine what
incantation to use to affect anything on numid=5 from the command line.

Is this possibly related?
