asterisk users - Dec 2004 - solution - running asterisk on box using alsa (FC3) for CONSOLE/dsp and wishing to play audio from browser

I found this information elsewhere....
making it /root/.asoundrc helped.

# This is .asoundrc
#
# this makes legacy OSS apps use alsa software mixing dmix
pcm.dsp0 {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
}

# mixer0 can stay unchanged, because it isn't used anyway, I guess ? ;)
ctl.mixer0 {
    type hw
    card 0
}

# this makes native ALSA apps default to using dmix
pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
}
