Can't play music with madplay?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
#1

Play mp3 with madplay:

madplay /home/ftp/test.mp3
MPEG Audio Decoder 0.15.2 (beta) - Copyright (C) 2000-2004 Robert Leslie et al.
audio: /dev/dsp: No such device

It is ture that /dev/dsp exists.

 ls -al /dev/dsp
crwxrwxrwx    1 root     pulse      14,   3 Jun 19 12:39 /dev/dsp

Strange enough:

root@OpenWrt:~/.mpd# service  mpd restart
mkdir: can't create directory '': No such file or directory
root@OpenWrt:~/.mpd#
#2

Strange. My /dev/dsp has different permissions:
crw--w--w- 1 root root 14, 3 May 24 11:29 /dev/dsp

AFAIK that does the same as
/etc/init.d/mpd restart
So you can 'debug' it:
sh -x /etc/init.d/mpd restart

#3 
root@OpenWrt:~# chmod  root.root  /dev/dsp
root@OpenWrt:~# chmod 622   /dev/dsp
root@OpenWrt:~# ls -al  /dev/dsp
crw--w--w-    1 root     root       14,   3 Jun 19 12:39 /dev/dsp
root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/mpd restart
mkdir: can't create directory '': No such file or directory
root@OpenWrt:~# sh -x /etc/init.d/mpd restart

root@OpenWrt:~# madplay  /home/ftp/test.mp3

How can fix it then?

Get info on sound cards:

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: Generic Digital [Generic Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: Generic Analog [Generic Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Set proper argument in mpd.conf.

vi /etc/mpd.conf
music_directory "/home/ftp"
playlist_directory "/home/.mpd/music_playlist"
db_file "/home/.mpd/mpd.db"
log_file "/home/.mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file "/home/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "/home/.mpd/mpd.state"
user "mpd"
group "audio"
bind_to_address "0.0.0.0"
port "6600"
input {
    plugin "curl"
}
audio_output {
    type "alsa"
    name "My ALAS Device"
    device "hw:1,0"
    mixer_type  "software"
}

filesystem_charset "UTF-8"

And add user to group.

usermod -aG audio mpd

mpc can open audio stram now.

service mpc start
mpc add mms://60.199.213.68/22
mpc play 1

But madplay still can't play mp3 file.

 madplay  /home/ftp/test.mp3

Avoid madlib/madplay, it's extremely slow compared to both mpg123 and ffmpeg. It's also unmaintained upstream...

#6

mpc can play audio stream from mms url,madplay can't play audio file in local directory.
How to fix then?
