This is what I was vaguely afraid of...

Could you be kind enough to suggest how I should write .asoundrc?

I only know the obvious one for jack:

.asoundrc
----------------
pcm.jackplug {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}

pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
}
capture_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
}
}
----------------
