 The activity Distance use the binaries aplay and arecord in the package
 alsa-utils
 to play a sound in two xos and record the result and calculate the
 distance.
 The last version in ASLO [1] is working in os3, but in os41, can't play
 the test sound
 the commands used are:

 /usr/bin/aplay fname

 /usr/bin/arecord --file-type=raw --channels=1 --format=S16_LE --rate=48000
 --duration=10  fname

 I know record is not working in xo-1.75 but play should be working.

 The test sound file can be downloaded from [2]

 In a xo-1.75 if in the command line I do:

 [olpc at localhost ~]$ /usr/bin/aplay ]outtqh4Xr
 ]outtqh4Xr: No such file or directory
 [olpc at localhost ~]$ /usr/bin/aplay outtqh4Xr
