Problems with USB driver and Swissonic USB Studio

[John Anderson <panic-alsa@semiosix.com>]

I'm using a Swissonic USB Studio.

With an older CVS version (from around 29th June), playback and capture
were pretty much OK, except for a ticking (the repetitive peaks issue?)
and some noise. Using the latest CVS version:

aplay -D studio /mnt/spare/music/test.wav 
Playing WAVE '/mnt/spare/music/test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: set_params:737: Broken configuration for this PCM: no configurations available

ecasound and jackd die with less descriptive error messages.

The error comes from a call

err = snd_pcm_hw_params_any(handle, params);

on line 735 of aplay.c

The output from /proc/asound/card1/stream0 is

Creative Technology Ltd Creative USB Speaker : USB Audio

Any help much appreciated.

BTW, what does Format: STD mean?

John
