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.
Have you tried plughw as a device:
plughw:1,0
The plug or plughw allows for some automatic conversions. Otherwise would you consider JACK - the JACK Audio Connection Kit?

OK, had a look at http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc.  Seems I need to use a slave. 

Is this correct?

pcm_slave.sl3 {
    pcm "hw:1,0"
    format S16_LE
    channels 2
    rate 44100
}
pcm.complex_convert {
    type plug
    slave sl3
}

Not sure exactly what S16_LE.  Cant find a list of the formats. Or is this the format of the card, not the format I want.

Not against using jack but only if I have to.  It seems more complex and I am very new to al this.
