# Background
I can't seem to use any of the PCM device list defined automatically for my
[Focusrite 6i6 device][1]. I tested this using `speaker-test`.

# Tests:

## `speaker-test` output comparing between using [`sysdefault`][2] and
[`front:USB`][3].

The `sysdefault` device emits sound for all of the formats, except for
FLOAT_LE 44100Hz and 48000Hz. While front:USB doesn't emit anything at all.
