Thanks for the hint. i saw that page before sometime in the past :-)

The asym plug seems to be what whe want :D I am testing it now.

pcm.!default {
     type asym
     playback.pcm {
         type plug
         slave.pcm "dmixer"
     }
     capture.pcm {
         type plug
         slave.pcm "drecord"
     }
}
pcm.dmixer {
     type dmix
     ipc_key 1024
     slave.pcm hw:audiodevice0
}
pcm.drecord {
     type dsnoop
     ipc_key 2048
     slave.pcm hw:audiodevice0
}
ctl.!default {
     type hw
     card audiodevice0
}

Anybody that sees some missing things here? I needs to work with oss, 
alsa and gstreamer alsasinks.

Best regards,
