I ran the following:
cd to_brltty_checkout_directory
make clean && ./autogen && ./configure --enable-pcm-support=alsa && make && sudo make install

I then restarted brltty:
sudo killall brltty
sudo /bin/brltty
I also tried with the init.d script:
sudo /etc/init.d/brltty restart
I then tried with these lines in my config file, tried one at a time of
course then the other after restarting brltty:
I tried with 
pcm-device	pcm-handle-id:0,0	# ALSA (see second parameter of snd_pcm_open)
and
pcm-device	hw:0,0	# ALSA (see second parameter of snd_pcm_open)

No tunes heard... I have some soft music playing in the background
through mpd (alsa)...

I also saw this line:
#pcm-device	/path/to/device	# most methods

Could I use this and just point it to the alsa device? If so how should
it look?

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Daniel.

P.s, Pcm volume in the prefs menu is on 90 and my tune device is set to
pcm digital soundcard of course!

Thanks.
