I can only hope that distros will ship with working hotplug scripts :)
With DSL apps you have to set an env variable, eg.:

export AUDIODEV=plughw:0,0,2

and they must be compiled with ALSA support. You can use the monitor mixer
on windos too, but echomixer has a much simpler interface. The moving
VU-meters is the background noise of the analog input channels. Did you
try aplay ? Did you remember to set the volume :) ?

Aaaaaalright! I got it finally working!! Thank you!!

I have some problems now that I think are beyond the scope of this
thread... Well, in fact all of it was out of the scope because it wasnt a
bug at all!

I can make SDL based apps work fine, and gnome events, but only
separately. I need to disable gnome sound server in order to make sdl apps
work, and vice versa, so i was wondering if there is a work around for
this to use both things at a time.

My Layla24 is finally sounding! yay!! :D
