The only commonly-request  setup that  comes to my  mind is  the  dmix
virtual device - although you can obtain the same effect with jack.

Aside from this, what  I had in  mind was simply a complete  .asoundrc
with descriptive  comments  for  each  entry.    Something that  could
probably live into the documentation, probably.

In any case,  I'm interested and open  to  suggestions on what  a good
.asoundrc file  could be - but nothing  more than that, i.e.   in this
moment   we  don't  have  the  manpower   to study   all  the possible
combinations  .asoundrc  directives can  take and  come   out  with an
all-encompassing solution (supposing there is one).
