It's sort of an overall weakness of letting every application do what it
wants, I think, instead of a more centralized way of setting up
requirements for Alsa applications.
Anyway, when I've needed to do this sort of thing I've been lucky enough
to have Jack applications that will handle my audio data formats. At
that point I just use qjackctl to route the left or right outputs where
I want them to go.
Maybe you can do the same, or something similar?
