ao=alsa:device=hw=0.0

This prevents software resampling of the audio passing through mplayer.

I have discovered that a better setting is

ao=alsa:device=plughw=0.0

This allows ALSA to reformat the audio data from S24_3LE to S24_LE if necessary. This is needed when playing a 24-bit WAV stream on the Wolfson Pi card and probably on some other DACs as well.
