    Hi, hope I am asking in the correct place here.

    
    I have a Creative E-MU 0044 and it seems to work fine.

    
    arecord -l gives me:
    

    card 1: USB [E-MU 0404
            | USB], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
      Subdevices: 1/1
      Subdevice #0:
            subdevice #0
    

    I seem to be able to record
    

    $ arecord -t wav -r 44100 -c 2
              -f S24_3LE -D hw:1,0 mon.wav
    Recording WAVE 'mon.wav' :
            Signed 24 bit Little Endian in 3bytes, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo

            
          I wish to use
        this card with darkice (internet audio streaming) but darkice
        doe not seem to like 24bit interface cards.

        
        I believe that I can do something in .asoundrc
    (which I believe is a ALSA config file that sits in my home
    directory), to convert the 24bit device to a 16bit device.

    
    I think I could setup a alsa device called e_mu_16 whitch would be
    the same as hw:1,0 but 16 bit.

    
    Any help with this would be really appreciated.

    
    Kind regards,

    Ben
