Hi All,
	Does anyone know of any documentation on what the different
formats in SND_PCM_SFMT_* mean?  Are these how one opens the device to 8
or 16 bit?  Are there any cards which can read GSM or MPEG, or are those
just there for completeness?  Is there any preferred format?  How should
one pick that?  Btw, has Andy released source for his mp3 player?  Does
anyone else have any working alsa pcm playing code?  That reminds me,
aplay...  The questions about format still stands.  Thanks.
	-Chris
