Yes, but I haven't seen it like that, if it works though...

Don't put the slashes around your sample rate. I'd normally put all the sl3 code inside your complex_converter, where you said:
slave sl3
I would have written:
slave {
         pcm "hw:1,0,0"
         ...
}

S16_LE = signed 16bit Little Endian, which is what you want. Take a look at the manpage for arecord:
man arecord
then search for s16_le:
/s16_le
you will come to a full list of accepted bit depth/sample formats of ALSA.

If you have to work with the asoundrc, JACK will be easier on every modern system, that I know off. It will take care of different bit depth automatically. Maybe give it a try at some point. If you like graphical user interfaces qjackctl is a good companion to look at connections and/or make them yourself.
