The "plug" plugin combines all needed automatic conversions; replace
"rate->linear" with "plug".

Many thanks for the input, however I cannot seem to get the linear to work 
after a multi, even if after a multi -> rate -> linear -> slave.

Anything that I do that specifies a format after the multi seems to fail.

Is there another way you could recommend maybe instead of using the multi for 
sample copying?

A single PCM device uses a single format.  The multi plugin just copies
samples, so its slave devices must use the same format.

However, you can use the linear plugin to automatically convert the
sample format between itself and its slave.
