Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.10-1
Severity: normal

aplay don't work if I set the PCM device to hw:

sid:/home/anders>aplay -D hw /usr/X11R6/lib/tkdesk/sounds/metal.au
Playing Sparc Audio '/usr/X11R6/lib/tkdesk/sounds/metal.au' : Mu-Law, Rate 8012 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:896: Sample format non available
sid:/home/anders>

Unfortunately, I have to use the following .asoundrc on order to
work-around bug #305189:

    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    }

    ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    }

And with that .asoundrc isn't aplay working :-(

With the default PCM device is aplay working.

ltrace gives this:

...
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(0x51b2f0, 0x7fffffffbd30, 3, 0x2aaaab1f9dc9, 0) = 0
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(0x51b2f0, 0x7fffffffbd30, 20, 0x2aaaab1f9dc9, 1) = 0xffffffea
fprintf(0x2aaaab36e660, "%s: %s:%d: ", "aplay", "set_params", 896aplay: set_params:896: ) = 23
dcgettext(0, 0x40917a, 5, 0x7fffffffb4f0, 0x2aaaab375190) = 0x40917a
fprintf(0x2aaaab36e660, "Sample format non available"Sample format non available) = 27
_IO_putc('\n', 0x2aaaab36e660
)                   = 10
exit(1 <unfinished ...>
+++ exited (status 1) +++


I don't know if this is a problem in aplay or libasound2.

My hardware:
VIA8237 with ALC850

Any suggestion? Possible work-around (besides always run aplay with
'-D default')?
