Do you have an SPDIF out? If you don't then you don't need .asoundrc of

Because I want to route it differently, sometimes to spdif, sometimes to
headphones, sometimes to mix sounds from different apps. Well, my config may
be a bit ancient as it was written when dmix was not default.

I have read some advices for ice1724 already. The main reason I wrote to
lkml -- I hate .asounrc and reading docs about it. I hate "flexebility" that
requires restarting apps after changing sound routes.

I perfectly know this one. I would like to use some really user-friendly tool.

Looks like it's not working with. As skype is not so informative.

I am not about ice1724 or .asounrc here. I am trying to talk about
user-friendliness of ALSA. It's very unfriendly.
