It's not an easy task when you have a lot of virtual devices with more
configurable parameters. Also you may pass one virtual device to another,
this chaining makes things more and more complicated for the end user.
I think that we need to discus what is the best solution for this
purpose. My idea is to create a nice graphical tool which will parse and
manage the .asoundrc file. Then it creates a list of devices with easy
syntax which will be accessible via alsa-lib functions. In this way, the
default predefined devices will be available to standard users and
more skilled users will use the graphical tools. Gurus may modify
.asoundrc file by hand, of course ;-)
Unfortunately, I and Takashi have no power to create such graphical tool.
We can probably add some default list of devices and create the alsa-lib's
functions.
