We found a couple of issues in the new ALSA routing that are fixed in upcoming 7.3.0 release. One of the issues caused Spotify and Airplay to crash when ALSA loopback is on. Another issue was the use of ALSA "hw" in the final output instead of "plughw". The "hw" plugin will cause no audio or MPD errors if the audio device does not accept the format being sent i.e., bit depth, sample rate, channels.
