[alsa-devel] M-Audio FastTrack C400

[Chris Cavey]

speaker-test plughw:C400 got me further but complains still

Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument

 From the manual:

2 analog mono inputs, 1 stereo SPDIF gives a total 4 inputs
4 analog mono outputs, 1 stereo SPDIF gives a total 6 outputs

Does SPDIF factor into channels?

I noticed, the endpoint attributes are slightly different that the FTU. 
Could this be an issue? I'm also guessing that the mixer lacking 
channels is probably an issue. I wonder if the some the FTU mixer 
"workarounds" may fit.
