I have a M-Audio/Delta Audiophile 2496 card, running under Debian GNU/Linux 2.6.0-test1 (hence ALSA 0.9.4, using ice1712). I'm trying to record SPDIF input from a DAT player, to make WAV files on disk (i.e., bit-for-bit copy).
Analog input is working fine: $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D plug:hw x.wav $ aplay x.wav [ ... hear the music ... ] $ (Much thanks to Clemens Ladisch for helping me to get that far!) However, I haven't gotten digital input working yet; seems I'm missing some configuration magic? $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D plug:spdif x.wav Recording WAVE 'x.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2094:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable arecord: set_params:783: Broken configuration for this PCM: \ no configurations available $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D plug:iec958 x.wav Recording WAVE 'x.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2094:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable arecord: set_params:783: Broken configuration for this PCM: \ no configurations available $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D spdif x.wav Recording WAVE 'x.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo arecord: set_params:783: Broken configuration for this PCM: \ no configurations available $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D iec958 x.wav Recording WAVE 'x.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo arecord: set_params:783: Broken configuration for this PCM: \ no configurations available Has anyone done this, with the Audiophile or any other SPDIF-producing card? Is there some custom configuration I should put in my ~/.asoundrc? I've been Googling on the above (and various other) error messages, but so far the suggestions I've seen haven't solved the problem...
