The parameter to pass to aplay -D is "front:CARD=Audio,DEV=0" without
the "ALSA:" at the beginning.

The "ALSA:" at the front is used in Myth to indicate that what follows
is an ALSA device name (as opposed to all the other sound libraries that
Myth can use).  Its not part of the actual ALSA device name itself, as
you can see when you look at the list provided by "aplay -L".
