Dsnoop problem with VT1708B - unable to open slave (on second arecord)

I'm having a problem opening a dsnoop device pointing to VT1708B multiple times:

# arecord -c2 -r 44100 -D plug:HDA_Intel test1.wav &
Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
#
# arecord -c2 -r 44100 -D plug:HDA_Intel test2.wav
ALSA lib pcm_dsnoop.c:641:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to open slave
arecord: main:590: audio open error: Invalid argument

This is my asoundrc:

pcm.HDA_Intel {
type dsnoop
ipc_key 822256
    slave {
        pcm "hw:1,0"
        rate 44100
        channels 2
    }
}
pcm.Audigy_SE__SB0570 {
type dsnoop
ipc_key 944213
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,0"
        rate 44100
        channels 2
    }
}

I have no problem opening the Audigy device multiple times:

# arecord -c2 -r 44100 -D plug:Audigy_SE__SB0570 test3.wav &
Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
#
# arecord -c2 -r 44100 -D plug:Audigy_SE__SB0570 test4.wav
Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo

I'm using 1.0.18a driver and 1.0.18 libs downloaded and compiled from the alsa website (the drivers/libs shipped with ubuntu didn't work either)

Any ideas?

anyone?

Anyone at all? :( -- This worked fine until I upgraded from gutsy to intrepid.

It looks to me like there is nobody with that level of expertise on these forums, try the linux audio users mailing list or IRC channel.

Still having this issue :( - Anyone have any ideas at all?

Finally found a solution, adding: defaults.pcm.subdevice 1 to asoundrc (the default is -1 for some reason).
