Can anyone suggest pointers, urls, or coaching toward getting an
m-audio USB Fast Track Pro (external sound card) working?

When I run `alsamixer' it lists the Fast Track as one of the sound
cards available. =C2=A0When I choose it, alsamixer reports there are no
controls available

(`This sound device does not have any controls')

Fast Track light is on, indicating it is getting power thru the usb
port.

However, when I attempt tp play something with `mplayer some.wav', I get no sound.

Stupid question: Are you specifying to mplayer which audio device to use?
mplayer -ao alsa:device=3Dhw=3D1.0 file.to.play
You n= eed to change the 1.0 to your card.
