The Device: hw:1 only reports "Channels: 2" (and not "Channels: 1 2"). This matches the error "Channels count non available" if I just run aplay -D hw:1,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav (as the mono file has just 1 channel [how can it actually have front and right information in just one channel?] but the card only supports 2) Naively I assumed that when using aplay -D plughw:1,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav the mono signal is split up in two identical signals that are then send two both channels. What can I do to make it work?
