Existing applications using hw:n,0,0 and hw:n,0,1 see the exact same interface/behavior. The only failure mode is if the multichannel PCM is in use.
Applications using multichannel work-flows would use hw:n,1.
While it's not a "just works" solution -- directing users to hw:n,1 is a whole lot better than teaching them how to set up a multi plugin.
I'm considering buying one of these Audio 4 DJ devices to make this change. Would you be willing to take a change like this?
Well, yes. The longer I think about it, the more I believe it would be worth a try how such a modified driver behaves.
I might do it myself, but it'll take a while until I can start working on it. If you are willing to help, I'd happily test a patch :)
