A few days ago in the embedded Linux used to Alsa command, on-line check the data do not give the force, only a little hands to check, and finally can use, will this use to tell everyone, lest everyone less detours.
0. First check which ALSA cmd the system supports:
ll/system/bin/asla*
After checking, my android4.4.2+linux3.10 system supports such as the following ALSA cmd
-rwxr-xr-x root Shell 68242 2014-10-08 05:18 alsa_amixer
-rwxr-xr-x root Shell 67639 2014-10-08 05:18 Alsa_aplay
-rwxr-xr-x root Shell 130323 2014-10-08 05:18 Alsa_ctl
Different systems can be slightly different, for example some systems are called aplay\amixer .....
1. How to use Alsa_aplay:
Alsa_aplay-h//Look at what use methods are supported at the moment
-H,--help help
--version Print Current version
-L,--list-devices list all soundcards and digital audio Devices
-L,--list-pcms list device names
-D,--device=name select PCM by NAME
-Q,--quiet quiet mode
-T,--file-type type file type (VOC, WAV, raw or AU)
-C,--channels=# channels
-F,--format=format sample format (case insensitive)
-R,--rate=# sample rate
-D,--duration=# interrupt after # seconds
-M,--mmap Mmap stream
-N,--nonblock nonblocking mode
-F,--period-time=# distance between interrupts is # microseconds
-B,--buffer-time=# buffer duration is # microseconds
--period-size=# distance between interrupts is # frames
--buffer-size=# buffer duration is # frames
-A,--avail-min=# min available space for wakeup is # microseconds
-R,--start-delay=# delay for automatic PCM start is # microseconds
(Relative to buffer size if <= 0)
-T,--stop-delay=# delay for automatic PCM stop was # microseconds from Xrun
-V,--verbose show PCM structure and setup (accumulative)
-V,--vumeter=type enable VU meter (Type:mono or stereo)
-I,--separate-channels one file for each channel
--disable-resample Disable automatic rate resample
--disable-channels Disable automatic channel conversions
--disable-format Disable automatic format conversions
--disable-softvol Disable Software Volume control (SOFTVOL)
--test-position Test Ring buffer position
--test-coef=# test coeficient for ring buffer position (default 8)
Expression for Validation Is:coef * (BUFFER_SIZE/2)
--test-nowait do not wait for ring buffer-eats whole CPU
--max-file-time=# start another output file when the old file has recorded
For this many seconds
--process-id-file write the process ID here
--use-strftime Apply the Strftime facility to the output file name
There will be specific help instructions, this will not say, can try.

Because my codec is alc5640, so
Learned from the above alc5640 hanging on the card2, so we will be configured Amixer 5640 when the-C 2 is right.
