Also solved the problem here!

Using 'aplay -l' seems like a rather strange hack to detect a software modem. I think either the Python ALSA bindings or /proc/asound/cards for that instead only. Right now 'aplay -l' apparently is only called when no modem is found through /proc/asound/cards as a fallback.

Martin Pitt, is there any specific reason for this fallback behavior? Should it be reimplemented using Python's ALSA bindings or maybe could be gotten rid off completely?
