It doesn't really answer or solve your originial question, but if you 
don't want to investigate on your alsa troubles any further and just 
want to dump the audio to a raw file, you can also achieve that by:

mplayer -aofile rawfilename -ao pcm -nowaveheader  youroriginialfilename

(add -af resample=44100 in case your original file has another sampling 
rate and you absolutely want a 44.1kHz stream)
