This ~/.asoundrc works for me to copy the PCM output to a file
independent even if the capture device is set to my microphone:

That is interesting, it gives me in AUDACITY the additional RECORDING DEVICE:
ALSA: writeFile

I had all microphones silenced in ALSAMIXERGUI but even with "writeFile" was AUDACITY recording from the built-in microphone - as it does with "Int Mic" while "IntMic" never recorded anything. (this was your other question)

With this .asoundrc file can I hear no more sound from AlsaPlayer and other players BUT the rtmpt stream is still playing from the flash-thingy in the web browser through the speakers.

I have been reading a bit in "man amixer" and found that these should be the available controls and the capabilities thereof (** added manually):

Could it be true that only the following devices have CAPTURE capabilities?
'IntMic',0
'Int Mic',0
'ExtMic',0
'Ext Mic',0
'Digital',0

Is there a chance to play and record the stream through the 'Digital',0 device?
