24 bit usb sound on lenny



Hallo all!

On switching my usb sound card to 24bit audio, all applications using
the card will crash/segfault:

$ aplay led_zeppelin-houses_of_the_holy-a.wav
Playing WAVE 'led_zeppelin-houses_of_the_holy-a.wav' : Signed 16 bit
Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
Segmentation fault

kaffeine, amarok, xine etc. all just crash.

Trying to record some anaolg input with 24bit also fails:


$ arecord -f S24_LE -c 2 -r48000 24-48k-testa.wav
Recording WAVE '24-48k-testa.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian, Rate
48000 Hz, Stereo
^CAborted by signal Interrupt...

appears to behave as expected, but the generated file is finishes at 44
bit.

Everything works nice on 16 bit/48 kHz:

14:30:43-johannes@e13-v21:/home/audio/wav$ aplay
led_zeppelin-houses_of_the_holy-a.wav
Playing WAVE 'led_zeppelin-houses_of_the_holy-a.wav' : Signed 16 bit
Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo

*Does anyone have 24 bit sound working with debian lenny?*

FWIW, I have a Terratec phase 26 usb sound card. It features a switch to
change it's audio quality settings for 16 bit/48 kHz, 24/48, 24/96.

My modprobe settings to load it as card 0:

$ more /etc/modprobe.d/sound
alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=0

Any help and pointers to improve my sound experience are well appreciated!

Thanks,

Johannes
