Package: libasound2-plugins
Version: 1.0.24-2+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When using the alsa filter a52 to convert a 5.1 pcm stream to ac3 and then send it to the internal intel SPDIF interface the operation fails with the message that "Specified sample_fmt is not supported" during the conversion to ac3 phase. It should be noted that the current configuration used to work and there were no changes to it since it was working.

My .asoundrc file is this:

---
$ cat ~/.asoundrc
pcm.a52encode {
        type a52
        format S16_LE
        channels 6
        rate 48000
        bitrate 448
        card "Intel"
}

pcm.hometheater {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "a52encode"
        slave.channels 6
}
---

The problem can be seen by using speaker-test:

---

$ speaker-test -Dhometheater -c6 -twav

speaker-test 1.0.24.2

Playback device is hometheater
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
WAV file(s)
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 3072 to 15360
Period size range from 1536 to 1536
Using max buffer size 15360
Periods = 4
[ac3 @ 0x20014e0] Specified sample_fmt is not supported.
Unable to set hw params for playback: Argumento inválido
Setting of hwparams failed: Argumento inválido

---

(Argumento inválido = invalid argument/parameter, in english)

At that point I used to hear the speaker identification for all speakers that are connected
to my hometheater system by a SPDIF cable.

By googling around I've found the following post:

http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/ticket/363

It seems that the cause might be a change in libavcodec library that now enforces the rule that the calling program should specify the desired sample_fmt before calling the "convert" function.

I've tried to uninstall and reinstall libavcodec52 and libavcodec53. Finally, I've compiled the unstable version of libavcodec53 and installed on testing. But the outcome was the same error at
each try.

The repositories I have enabled in apt are only Debian/testing main contrib non-free,
plus unstable only for deb-src.

Thanks,
Luis
