OK, this change was committed almost two weeks ago.  But it is still not
visible in Sourceforge anonymous CVS.  The latest version is 1.39:

"cat > /dev/dsp" itself doesn't parse the format but just handles as
if a raw PCM data.  It is pretty casual that it worked somehow.

Ok, applied most of your fixes to ALSA tree.

The change of timer API, midi-emulation API and a part of PCM API are
kept.  Some are moved as static inline functions.

-D option requires an argument.  In the second case, you didn't pass
it so the wav file name is parsed as the device name.

Most likely the device is simply blocked by others.
This behavior was changed recently to be non-blocking mode, BTW.

Apparently the configure couldn't detect vmalloc_to_page().
Do you have config.log for this check?
