I think this is indeed the case. I was finding the cron run from root worked also and the .asoundrc was in the pi user.

Makes it even simpler.

I would state with almost absolute certainty that your .asoundrc file has no part to play here. The thing that made it work is telling darkice to use plughw:.... rather than hw:... which allows ALSA to fake the hardware setup that darkice says it wants. When you use hw:... you can only use hardware parameters that are directly supported by the hardware itself, which sometimes are not the ones you want/need to use.

    OK, just tried that
    ...i've figured out that we have a few 24bit consumer interfaces (USB) too
    running with darkice.

    so it *should* work...

    could you try pls:

        device          = plughw:0
    or
        device          = plughw:1

    instead?

    I had to use this instead of the
        device          = hw:0,0

    If that did not help, i would try to disable realtime for first until it is
    working (just as a shot)...
