Thanks Clemens, just to make sure I get you right: Some applications do
not allow me to set "PCM devices" but only cards? In that case I can
only redefine default by changing/creating a .asoundrc?

I am just making my way through alsa terminology, let me ask you if you
mean a "PCM device" called hw, not the hw as a protocol for accessing
cards? 

Thanks again!
