enable audio on LEB-panda

Notes:
[vishalbhoj,30 Sept,2011]: The audio output on the line-out and the HDMI are working from commandline. Audio recording is yet to be tested.
[vishalhoj,30 Sept,2011]:alsa_aplay is currently failing.

        Hi Andy,

        I get a kernel panic IF I run the commands.
        #amixer settings as per your mail
        #alsa_aplay -l

        However I can here some jitter when I run these commands.
        #alsa_amixer settings as per your mail
        #alsa_aplay -D hw:0,8 /data/dump.pcm -f S32_LE -vvv

        I have attached the logs in both case.And I see only S32_LE is being
        supported and the sampling rate is also getting configured wrongly
        during playback.
        Correct me if I am wrong
        Is the device hw:0,8 correspond to headset ?

Playback works on headphone when you play videos on youtube.(Music app is crashing when you play any file)
Capture results in a kernel panic when tried through speech-Recorder App.

tracking-Panda:

Capture works through speech-Recorder App at 8Khz (at 11Khz,the app crashes).

Procedure to Test audio capture:
Pandaboard has a line-in point and audio capture from headphone mic won't work. One has to either use a powered/amplified mic OR connect line-in on panda to line out of workstation using a 3.5 jack to 3.5 jack cable.

Play some music on workstation "Make sure volume is <=50% else the captured output will have distortion due to clipping" and Run the speech-recorder app and select 8khz for capture. The capture wav file will be available at /data/data/com.android.speechrecorder/app_recordings/ which cann be copied to host machine and played back.
