Thanks, I've uploaded to focal and hirsute. Do you care about 20.10 at this point? It feels like we could probably skip this one to spare some verification work since it's about to be replaced by a new stable and isn't a LTS

[Fix] https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-utils/pull/69 Switch the default audio format from 8 bits to 16 bits if hardware supports it. [Test] 1. Plug a microphone. 2. Run `arecord | aplay` and say something to the microphone. 3. Only noise can be heard. With the fix applied, the recording is clear. [Where problems could occur] If there's any hardware falsely advertised to support 16 bits, this change will break them. However, this is effectively using `arecord -f cd` or `arecord -f cdr`, so that's not likely.
