Thank for the reply. I found out that /etc/asound.conf is *the place* to look. Apparently it is possible to talk to soundcards by some id: # more /proc/asound/cards 0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with STAC9750,51 at irq 7 Gives e.g. an entry in /etc/asound.conf : pcm.!default { type hw card "I82801DBICH4" } For the moment, I configured dmix into asound.conf, and it appears that dsnoop is the equivalent for sound routing the other direction.
