Summary:                    can't test audio with aplay using 16-bit signed LE
format; 1.0.7 however works
Description: 
I usually test my speakers with aplay using

aplay -t raw -f S16_LE -c 6 -r 48000 -Dsurround51

With 1.0.8, when I do this, nothing goes to any of the speakers. However,
when I revert to alsa-driver 1.0.7, it works correctly. I have Intel ICH5
audio with Realtek ALC650F chip with 5.1 channel audio.

Thanks,
            Uday.

Try 1.0.9rc2.  The mixer configuration is OK?

The mixer configuration is okay. I actually reverted to alsa 1.0.7 (the
driver) and then tried, and it worked perfectly. aplay gives the usual
noise. Also, with alsa 1.0.8, I can play music with xmms or any other
player correctly but the rear right channel stops working after some time.
Output to all other channels works fine. I also confirmed this with
speaker-test.

I tried 1.0.9rc2. After installing 1.0.9rc2 versions of the driver and
lib, when I tried to play music (with xmms), some kind of strange repeated
noise comes out of the speakers instead of the music. The culprit seems to
be alsa-lib 1.0.9rc2; when I reverted to alsa-lib 1.0.8 with 1.0.9rc2
driver and utils, it worked correctly; but still aplay doesn't send output
on S16_LE in any of these cases except when I have alsa-driver-1.0.7.
