Indeed, it doesn't work. This is the log output:

I: alsa-util.c: Failed to set hardware parameters on plug:test: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole
E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=test"): initialization failed.
That "Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole" error means "No such file or
directory". I tried also with device=hw:0,0 and device=plughw:0,0 and
the first worked while the latter gave the same errors. Since the failed
function calls pertain to buffering, I also tried with tsched=0. It
worked. So, maybe this is a bug in the "plug" alsa plugin, ie. it
doesn't implement the *_near() functions properly.
Lennart, any insights?
