It is actually possible to use the .asoundrc file to set this up so alsa
does it. Maybe it is about time we spammed the alsa-devel list and user
list asking them to explain how to do this. In fact I will accidentally
add them as a recipient.

Abramo - You have said it is possible. How do we do it?

Please give us an example we can understand.
