If you are a casual user of ALSA, you won't need *any* .asoundrc. > Another problem are the kernel panics that happens very often within > alsa. The best what I get was about one hour between panics.

More likely you need help to troubleshoot your system. You can try asking on the Linux Audio Users mailing list.
