But I'm not using hw interface, I'm using plughw which does the correct
conversion already in the alsa layer. The only format in which direct hw
access works, is 32,12,96000 but the conversion to 24 sounds crap:

ecasound -f:s32_le,12,96000 -i:alsa,hw -f:s24_le,2,96000 -o:temp.wav

Strange, since they have the same chip, but this sounds crap on my card.
I suspect that the 32->24 conversion loses wrong 8 bits or the ordering of
the three bytes left is wrong. I should do some researching before I can
truly say what happens. (That is, record 32 then convert it to 24 with
some other program and compare it to ecasound's conversion)
