I know so far. But I would like to get a bit more from ALSA. For

OpenAL can use hardware capabilities of the sound card? Hm, c

Yes, that's what I meant.

very few audio interfaces have this feature anymore. most h/w makers

That doesn't answer my question. What about unused fancy hardware? ALSA
obviously has the code ('route', 'dmix' and 'plug' plug-ins), it just
