Re: S16_LE + softvol = bad

Tested with no explicit defaults.pcm.dmix.format, with explicit
S16_LE, and with explicit S32_LE, all with Intel HD audio and the PC
speaker (total 6 cases, including one meaningless). In all cases, the
code was able to choose the correct format for talking with hardware
(i.e., the worst of (a) explicitly specified, if any, and (b) the best
hardware-supported one). Thanks for a quick fix!
