...but, if you are doing mono playback, your sound driver has to setup

no, please don't do that. in the ALSA, instead of the lowlevel driver, alsa-lib (and oss-emulation module) will do this job.

In this case the card (not driver) is spliting the mono signal and sending it to both right and left channels of the codec. Thus channels_min should still be 1 because the card does actually support a single channel

the driver is supposed to inform exactly what it supports.
in this case, both channels_min and channels_max will be 2.
the difference of configuration will be absorbed by the plug-in of alsa-lib and oss-emulation module.
