Summary:                    Segfaults when trying to specify the preamble values
(iec958 plugin)
Description: 
When I try to specify the preamble values for the iec958 plugin (see the
attached .asoundrc file for an example), I get segfaults with all
applications that try to use the corresponding device. If I simply comment
out the 3 preamble lines, the application runs fine (well, not with the
null output, but with a real S/PDIF device) but I get no sound since I'm
not using the correct preamble values.

(This is with version 1.0.10.)

Here is a backtrace I got with valgrind (using xmms as the application):

Hope this helps.
