When you use the hw:1 syntax, you are expecting alsa to try to talk to the
card directly. Try this in your .asoundrc.
pcm.rme9652 {
type hw
card 1
device 0
}
ctl.rme9652 {
type hw
card 1
}
pcm.dsp1 {
type plug
slave.pcm.rme9652
}
then
aplay -Ddsp1 filew.wav
Alsa will perform the needed conversions for you.
You want the ctl entry so that ardour will work properly. When you use
aplay or any other application, use dsp1 as your alsa device, and when you
use ardour, use rme9652, because ardour wants the raw access.
