Try something simpler:

arecord -v -Dplughw:0 -c1 -r44100 -fS16_LE out.wav

It prints the given parameters and, if the format is not supported by the
card, it also prints the choosen settings. In that case audio data is
transparently converted to the format you requested.
You shouldn't have to specify plughw: because it's the default.
