first ~0.15s of sound file not being heard

I made a test sound file in LMMS which plays arpeggios. The first note in the file is not heard when I try to play it with aplay, mplayer or mpd. This means the first ~0.15 seconds are skipped. I tried exporting the file as a Microsoft WAV and an ogg vorbis with same results.

When I open the file with audacity, I can see and hear the first note:

Do you know why audacity plays the "real" sound file, while other programs (mplayer, mpd, aplay) don't?

1. If it's a problem with those specific programs, is there a program that will play a sound file from the beginning from the command line?
2. If it's something I've set up wrong, what do I need to fix?

I'd like to be able to play a very short sound (about 0.1s), but those programs only play silence!

You have the same problem as me and another user.

I think it's alsa. But I don't really know what is wrong with it.

This issue is resolved for me with the latest release of alsa. See here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 85#p413985.
