Unfortunately the 'volumealsa' widget used by Raspbian does not support 'plug' in .asoundrc... ( https://github.com/raspberrypi/lxpanel/blob/master/plugins/volumealsa/volume...) It hardcodes default device to type 'hw'.
I hoped I could get transcoding getting done within the kernel space, then no changes to Raspbian's 'volumealsa' would be needed...
Is there any other way possible?
Thank you, Giedrius.

Is it possible to have ALSA do the necessary format conversions for the

Yes (in userspace).
What would be required to enable it?
Nothing; the "plug" plugin is automatically used by the default device.
