The data gets automatically downmixed when you use one of the devices
that can automatically convert sample formats, like "default" or
"plughw".

Hello, I'm using the "hw:0" device, is there a difference from "default" ?

Ok, if I tell arecord to use specifically the device "hw:0" or "hw:0,0" the error message is :
arecord -D"hw:0,0" --channels=1 --format=S16_LE --rate=44100
arecord: set_params:906: Channels count non available

But if I tell arecord to use the "default" device (-D"default") it is Ok ! So there IS a difference.

I'll use this settings in my project, but as I'm curious i'm willing to know how can I do
this automatic downmix using the "hw:0,0" device ?

thanks,

Olivier Delhomme
