[LAU] asoundrc

Hi, hope I am asking in the correct place here. I have a Creative E-MU 0044 and it seems to work fine. arecord -l gives me: */card 1: USB [E-MU 0404 | USB], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]/* */ Subdevices: 1/1/* */ Subdevice #0: subdevice #0/* I seem to be able to record */$ arecord -t wav -r 44100 -c 2 -f S24_3LE -D hw:1,0 mon.wav/* */Recording WAVE 'mon.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian in 3bytes, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo /*I wish to use this card with darkice (internet audio streaming) but darkice doe not seem to like 24bit interface cards. I believe that I can do something in .asoundrc (which I believe is a ALSA config file that sits in my home directory), to convert the 24bit device to a 16bit device. I think I could setup a alsa device called e_mu_16 whitch would be the same as hw:1,0 but 16 bit. Any help with this would be really appreciated.
