Hi Björn (me again):
try this asound.conf:
pcm.!default {
type hw card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw card 0
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm “softvol”
}
pcm.softvol {
type softvol
slave {
pcm “dmix”
}
control {
name “Amp”
card 0
}
min_dB -5.0
max_dB 20.0
resolution 6
}
And skip pulse-audio (the pa-stuff). This is pure alsa-level (like aplay). This configuration creates a mixer device.
