Hi I understand how to create an alias for a soundcard that uses the dmix plugin in my asoundrc file and that works. i also understand that if you call it "default" a well written program that uses alsa will choose to use it.
However many alsa programs dont do this (MPlayer is a good example) instead they access the hw:0,0 i.e. the first hardware card that exists. This sucks because it completely bypasses the .asoundrc files and makes dmix effectively useless. My question therefore is can i make a virtual soundcard such as one using dmix appear to be the first actual hardware device available so that even badly written programs will use it. If this can be done simply then i'd like to know how.. if not i'm willing to write a dummy sound driver for alsa that will just use the proper alsa library and send sound through the default device.
