Hi all,

I am trying to sample and play alaw streams on my iPAQ 5500. The HW 
driver registers support for S16_LE only. So, to achieve my purpose, I 
register a plugin like following in my alsa.conf file:

pcm.alaw {
	type alaw
	slave {
		pcm  "hw:0.0"
		format S16_LE
	}
}

With this, when I use arecord to capture sound, I get an error "arecord: 
set_params:832: Sample format not available".

Is there something wrong in my configuration setup or am I missing 
something ? Any clues or suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,
Manu
