Re: Zoom R16

[Jason Mancine <jason@mancine.net>]

I am still working on trying to get the R16 to work for playback.   The
problem is that no matter what .formats setting I use, ALSA sets the R16 to
32 bit LE (the R16 operates at 24 bit integer only).   This is fine for
capture as the R16 is sending a 24 bit stream into a 24-in-32 ALSA
capture... but for playback, the 32 bit ALSA stream chokes when it hits the
24 bit integer R16 device.

So, the main question is how do I force ALSA to initialize this device at
24 bit integer?

For the record, here is the quirk that I am working with (working for
capture, recognized for playback but crashes on data).   Thanks for any
suggestions.
