Debian Multimedia :: Alsa Just Returns With Device Or Resource Busy

Using debian testing.

Pulseaudio got installed by default here during installtion. Since I don't want it I first ran "systemctl disable pulseaudio", "pulseaudio --kill", then without rebooting I use mpd with alsa alone and it worked fine.

But then i rebooted, and now all applications, mpd, mpv, chromium etc just says that alsa returns with "Device or resource busy", tried rebooting again with no effect.

The soundcard appears as card 1 according to the output of "aplay -l", and defined that card 1is suposed to be default with this in "/etc/asound.conf":

Code: Select allpcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

It occurred to me that there might be an issue with permissions to the soundcard so I ran "ls -l /dev/snd"

Code: Select alldrwxr-xr-x  2 root root       80 Mar 31 03:27 by-path
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116,  8 Mar 31 03:27 controlC0
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116,  2 Mar 31 03:27 controlC1
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 12 Mar 31 03:27 hwC0D0
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116,  7 Mar 31 03:27 hwC1D0

[Code] ....

My user is a part of the audio group:

Code: Select alluid=1000(roberth) gid=1000(roberth) groups=1000(roberth),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),108(netdev),111(scanner)

As far as I can tell, that looks fine unless I am missing something?
