And today, one of the Canonical guys published his version of a tool to help here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/7542

why did runtest.sh use a format FLOAT64_LE which was not supported by PA ?

runtest.sh isn't meant to be used directly in that way, you're supposed to run "alsamixertest". Try "alsamixertest -r" and "alsamixertest -h" to get started. (Perhaps I should rename the .sh file to something else.)

That said, if you find a good use case where you want to use it directly and need a different sample format - patches welcome (as long as they don't break something else).
