The code changes themselves are fine, but this patch has more room for
(trivial) improvements.

First off, it won't hurt if you give more text in the patch
description.  Only from this one line text, it's not entirely clear
what the patch is doing and how.

In this case, it might be better understandable to use a term "cast"
(or "type cast") instead of "conversion", too.  And, a sentence should
start with a capital letter.

The subject line for sound subsystem should be with "ALSA:" prefix,
and in this case, "ALSA: pcm: xxx" would be more suitable (the subject
prefix depends on the system, see other git logs).

Last but not least, at the next submission, please put the
corresponding subsystem mailing list (alsa-devel ML) to Cc, too.

thanks,

Takashi
