Look, I am trying to make full picture from pieces.

For example, I have and M-Audio Revolution 7.1 card which
works fine.

I was taught/told by ALSA developers that what I was trying to
do and am doing while writing this is called "capture loopback" -
IIRC, not just capture.

I.e., the signal is directly, bypassing the OS, routed from
ADC to DAC.

Now, is there a way to know that a card possesses such functionality from
the card driver ?

Is there some kind of "report_capabilities" ALSA lib call ?

If yes, that's good, because just querying ALSA lib the script
can understand whether what user wants to do can be done or not.

If no, then someone will have to manually describe capabilities
of each card, so an intelligent script will be able to check
user wishes against the capabilities.

...

An existing .asoundrc file causes ALSA lib functions to be called.

The same can be done directly from Perl, so I see no reason to
generate .asoundrc file and then run it - there are no error messages
if something is wrong in .asoundrc, so its existence won't make
debugging easier.
