Your right that it is not easy.

I was under the impression that something like:

----
        pcm.first {
                type hw
                 card 0
                device 0
        }

        ctl.first {
                type hw
                card 0
        }

        pcm.second {
                type hw
                 card 1
                device 0
        }

        ctl.second {
                type hw
                card 1
        }

        pcm_slave.sl {
                pcm second
                rate 44100
        }

        pcm.c1 {
                type copy
                slave sl
        }
                        
        ctl.c1 {
                type hw
                card 0          
        }

Would allow you to do what you want. The plugins docs says it will copy 
from master pcm to the slave pcm. I assume that the master is the first 
device hw:0,0.

Did you try anything like the above?

I would but I'm testing alsaplayer and it is having problems with 
releasing the ALSA pcm device currently so I have to shut down first.
                
HTH.
