Maybe the audio device has been opened by something else?

Note that madplay directly talks alsa by default.

Hello,
The attached patch fixes the reported issue.
Note: it works but only for native alsa output.
It fails when trying to use pulseaudio's alsa plugin.
The problem was opening plughw:0,0 alsa device.
If other apps are using the device at the same time, madplay can't use
that device.
The patch changes it to use default device which works here.
Regards
Halim
