if you have one soundcard, then ALSA should work out-of-the-box, so to
speak.
you only need a .asoundrc file if (for example):
1) you want to use specific names for your cards, OR
2) you want to use alsa-lib's ability to create "fake" PCM devices
with various specific characteristics
i didn't see the error you posted, so i am not sure where your error
might be arising from.
