Before I changed mplayer to use esd, I would get that error and the
sound would be terrible when streaming a .asf file (this is the only
case I remember, but it may have happened to other files).  I just
tried playing a .mp3 however and it played fine and didn't display the
alsa-space error you mentioned.
