I did this, and I get the static, unles I use "aplay -d digital-hw
Trackname.wav"
Incidently, aplay -D hw:0,2 trackname also works, but aplay or aplay
-d default trackname gives the static.

I checked my .asoundrc and I believe the default is set to digital-hw,
so what more do I need to do to default to that?
