What we want to achieve is for user to be able to select our sound card in the 'volumealsa' widget and all the software, such as internet browsers, mplayer, etc... would by default, without any further configuration, be able to output sound as usual.
To achieve that, there seems to be 2 ways:
1. Report that S16_LE format is supported, somehow internally do the sample format conversion in kernel space. 2. Use 'plug' in .asoundrc, and make changes to volumealsa widget in RPI fork to be compatible with it.
If at all possible, the 1st option would be preferred, as it would involve less parties.
Thank you, Giedrius.

There are no plugins for control devices because those are used only to access mixer controls.
How do you play sounds?
