Hello Clemens,
I understand, that 'pcm.!default()' overwrites default settings of default
device, but why not? Or philosophy goes as: create new device and connect
programs over their Alsa settings?
But than, a lot of programs don't even have Alsa settings. YOu cant change
sound devices, or anything for that matter.
I'd accept this way if programs could be confugred with ALSA over
environmental variable, but as you said yourself earlier, feature is pretty
much undocumented.
