Takashi, as Kevin wrote originally, the problem is not that softvol doesn't do any format/layout conversions, but that it claims it does. PA asks softvol for INTERLEAVED samples, softvol agrees to that -- and actually hands us only NONINTERLEAVED samples because it doesn't reformat the from the underlying layer. So, it *is* a bug in softvol. However, you are right that it doesn't do any conversions.
