set_params:901: Sample format non available

[Udo van den Heuvel <udovdh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am trying to record from S/PDIF on a M-Audio DiO 2496 card.
I get arecord: set_params:901: Sample format non available.
This problem looks similar to the one mentioned at:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-June/msg00244.html
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-June/msg00282.html

These are my cards:

# arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: V8237 [VIA 8237], device 0: VIA 8237 [VIA 8237]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: V8237 [VIA 8237], device 1: VIA 8237 [VIA 8237]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: M2496 [M Audio Delta DiO 2496], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712
multi]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

arecord -L at the bottom.

I run 2.6.18 on a Fedora Core 5 box.

I have a CD-player hooked up to the M-Audio and envy24control shows the
meters moving to the sound coming in from the CD-player. So the card is
locked to the signal from the coax cable.

arecord -Dhw:1,0 -f cd gives arecord: set_params:901: Sample format non
available
arecord -Dhw:1,0 -f S32_LE -c2 -r44100 gives 906: Channels count not
available

This stuff worked under Windoze.
How can I fix this?
Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a problem?
