Sure. It's actually the same as yours, modified for this environment:

audio_output {
enabled "yes"
type"alsa"
name"TEAC USB"
device  "hw:3,0"
mixer_type  "disabled"
auto_resample   "no"
auto_channels   "no"
auto_format "no"
dop "no"
}

By the way, what does the 'dop' parameter do? I couldn't find any
references in the man page.

Sorry, forgot to say that alsamixer just shows a single playback
