Make sure the volume is low and
$ cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio
You should here the nice sound of urandom. This means the
alsa drivers are working.
To make the software mixer work i also had to write a
/etc/asound.conf (i just c&p the example from
http://www.pseudorandom.co.uk/2004/debian/alsa/).
Now just start some apps that use alsa as the audio output
device e.g.:
$ ogg123 -q -d alsa09 Tom_Waits_-_01_-_Tom_Trauberts_Blues.ogg &
is working for me.
BTW ogg123 uses libao to play sounds and the user can decide
himself which device / sound daemon is used. Maybe worth to
think about that option.
To get the version number... I don't know. On my debian
system i have libasound2 installed, apt-cache says it has
version 1.0.11-3 and pkg-config --version asound says 0.20.
And thanks to the guy who pointed out that GNU/Linux finally
has a software mixer in the kernel.
