Thank you Giuliano!!
BTW: do you have a recommendation to test/check the maximum output level of the
Layla3G. The specs say that is capable of 114dB( A weighted) ... I used
alsamixer to turn up the volume all the way up for this device, but when I
measure the output ... I got something like 300mV(rms) and I would expect this
to be about 6.5-7.5Vrms (max).
// Thank you again

It happens because the card does not support mono S16_LE. It must be stereo.

There's no need to reboot: .asoundrc is read each time an app is loaded.

Yes, with plug it either converts the data to stereo or S32_LE.

Try this:
pcm.layla3g {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:1"
}
ctl.gina3g {
type hw
card 0
}
