runtest.sh isn't meant to be used directly in that way, you're supposed 
to run "alsamixertest". Try "alsamixertest -r" and "alsamixertest -h" to 
get started. (Perhaps I should rename the .sh file to something else.)

That said, if you find a good use case where you want to use it directly 
and need a different sample format - patches welcome (as long as they 
don't break something else).
