Some applications using ALSA -- such aplay and Audacious -- also detect alternate PCMs using snd_device_name_hint. (Speaking of which, have you looked at #549531 yet?) This makes it possible for an application to output to other PCMs besides "default". The problem that Tomasz has reported is that snd_device_name_hint only shows system-wide PCMs, not user-defined ones; that is, it shows those which are defined in /usr/share/alsa/cards/<name>.conf but not in ~/.asoundrc.
