a) if and why should I prefer the "plughw:0,0" over the "default" device name. I am developing a simple audio player which is based on the latter. I made this choice because when I was using plughw:0,0 with other audio programs(flash player,vlc) open in the background I would get the "Device is busy" error code. With default, it's fine.
You have answered your question.
The default device name should be "default".
b) can I have an application specific volume changer?
Very few sound devices support this in hardware. Adjust the sound data in your program, or better use PulseAudio.
