My hunch is that your soundcard doesn't directly support that format
(signed 16 bit). I have the M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 card, which
also uses the ice1712 driver, and it looks like it only supports
signed 32 bit data.
Try compiling and running the attached program. It was posted a few
weeks ago by Clemens Ladisch, in response to me asking if there was
a way to determine what sound formats are supported by the hardware.
See:
http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg24774.html
If indeed that is the case, I think the only solution is to use dmix
or plughw (instead of hw directly) to convert the data to a format
that is natively supported by your hardware.
