Alsa issues on Raspberry pi

I am trying to use IBM watson TTS engine to play back the text. While playing the sound, I get the following error:

My output of aplay -l is :

My output of .asoundrc is :

pcm.!default {
  type asym
   playback.pcm {
     type plug
     slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
   }
   capture.pcm {
     type plug
     slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
   }
}

I have been trying various ways to tackle the problem, but to no avail.

Any help or directions would be appreciated.
