Is it possible to somehow mandate the use of a PCM plugin? For example, the PC-Speaker.conf defines the use of softvol plugin for "default" and "front" devices. It is still possible for the software to bypass it by the use of "hw", and some software does exactly that. Is it possible to somehow make some plugin a mandatory?
What is the actual problem you are trying to solve here? It's not possible to *mandate* anything to all users, if nothing else someone with administrative access can always rebuild whatever part of the system is trying to restrict them.
What I am trying to solve, is the problem that people have with my snd-pcsp driver. Pulseaudio uses "hw" to bypass some pcm plugins, and then people are left with the non-functional softvol control, and they blame my driver. I am looking for the way to mandate the softvol plugin even for the "hw" device. Is this possible?
