Ah!  So these devices would sit unused(/undefined) if PortAudio wasn't
trying to use them "on demand"?

Applying (re)definitions of this kind does indeed prune down the list.
Using the listaudevs again with the new asound.conf:
"
$ listaudevs

But you are saying that because of PortAudio, there's no way to suppress
these messages, nor undefine these definitions outside of striking lines
out of /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf?  Is that correct?
