I see no attachment of the recorded sound.  In the mail above, only
Side_Right.wav was attached, and this is the same file in
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/.

But, I wonder how you played a mono channel file with "hw:1,0" PCM.
Isn't this a HD-audio device?
Usually HD-audio codec can't play a mono file.  For example, on my
machine with a Realtek codec fails like:

% aplay -Dhw:0,0 Side_Right.wav
Playing WAVE 'Side_Right.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:1358: Channels count non available

So, if it works on yours, please show the output of playback with
aplay -v option.  This will show more details.

Last but not least, please double-check that the problem is really
gone after reverting the commit 9f656705c5fa.  The commit is about the
auto-silencing, and it should be irrelevant unless the application
gives non-zero silence_size sw_params, and aplay doesn't set up it at
all.


thanks,

Takashi
