Hi Sergei, Thanks for your reply. I already did this kind of verification. I used the WAV output of mpg123 to create a WAV file. It works fine. I can play that file using aplay. I also have another WAV file created with Audacity and this one works fine too. I also tried cmus and alsaplayer to play both WAV and MP3 files without success. I tried to use oss emulation with them and it didn't work either. I'm quite convinced that it is ALSA configuration issue. Is there a way to debug the driver, so I can see why the output freezes? -- Wojtek 2010/10/26 Sergei Steshenko <steshenko_sergei@xxxxxxx>: > On Tue, 26 Oct 2010 00:00:07 +0100 > Wojciech Bober <wojciech.bober@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I'm trying to build mp3 jukebox out of Efika, which is an embedded >> MPC5200 based board.
