"hw:N,M" requires that any requested settings be directly supported by
the underlying hardware. you were apparently asking for things the h/w
could not provide.

"hwplug:N,M" allows the use of the software plug layer which will
allow settings not directly supported by the underlying hardware. Its
similar to a "plug" PCM device, except that there are a few
optimizations that can be done when its known that the "slave" device
is a "hw" type, rather than another "plug" type, for example.
