That documentation is wrong; 0 is not allowed.  Just use 0.5 s, or some
larger value.

Because the "hw" device goes straight to the hardware and disallows
any conversion of sample rate/format.

Use "default", or something like "default:0" to select a specific card.

... and setting soft_resample to 0 disallows resampling in any case.
