Audacity playback doesn't work for me

[Kevin J. Cummings]

Long story short:

	Got a new cell phone

	Tried to use audacity-freeworld to edit a .mp3 file down to a ringtone.

	Discovered that I couldn't play the .mp3 file due to the following error:

> 	Error while opening sound device. Please check the
>       output device settings and the project sample rate.

The errors in the terminal session look like (lot's of them!):

> Expression 'parameters->channelCount <= maxChans' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 915
> Expression 'ValidateParameters( outputParameters, hostApi, StreamDirection_Out )' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 1133

These seem similar to an F8 bug that was closed as NOTABUG:  449012

This is F11.x86_64

My audacity playback devices number 3:

	ALSA: HDA Intel: Si3054 Modem (hw0,6)
	ALSA: modem
	ALSA: phoneline

I have 6 possible recording devices:

	ALSA: HDA Intel: ALC883 Analog(hw0,0)
	ALSA: HDA Intel: ALC883 Analog(hw0,2)
	ALSA: HDA Intel: Si3054 Modem (hw0,6)
	ALSA: modem
	ALSA: phoneline
	OSS: /dev/dsp

I suspect that I need to somehow add my ALC883 (hw0,0) device to my
audacity playback configuration.  Can anyone tell me *how* to do that?
