#nothing play and the above stay displayed -as is- until I ctrl-c

Possible that you have not turned on the mixer controls i.e.
enabling the volume?

Check sw_ptr and hw_ptr and see if those are increasing or not?

Probe the I2S lines and see if there is any data?

So first, the above command in fact do finish after the length of the file (I
thought I took a much smaller test sample..)

The mixer control were all on and volume to the max.
I don't have a scope, but you made me realize that I'm clueless in front
of my problem without one... So I finnaly found an access to one. The measure
show that the input clock of the pll (mclk) is just non-existant. 
I now know what to look for.

I tried to find a reference to those sw_ptr and hw_ptr somewhere,
without success, what are they and where can I find/probe them ?

Thanks!!
Jonathan.
