so i posted it again.
then, apparently you're now upset that i did that.
regardless, we seem to have gotten past that.

ok. now i get it . i was confused by the link to the web-page you posted. it
seemed to indicate that you could get aplay to perform the conversion by
specifying the format with the -f option. clearly it can't do that.

very helpful. i didn't know you could do that. i guess aplay just plays the
bytes.

Interesting. I absolutely tried that before, as per the instructions in your
previous post, and it didn't help in iceweasel. I suspect i forgot to restart
iceweasel.
so now that _does_ fix the aplay problem, both on the command line and in
iceweasel !
excellent !!
this is very interesting, because if aplay can't convert the file format, how
is it getting converted ??
also, i forgot to mention that I also put the following in
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa/base.conf
options snd slots=snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_intel
options snd_usb_audio index=0 vid=0x08bb pid=0x2704
My understanding is that this will cause the modules to be loaded in a fixed
order which would make the HW designations consistent. I believe now that's
unnecessary since i'm now using "card A2" in my .asoundrc file.
Thank you,
Brian
