I wrote an application to handle this kind of thing in the GUI. It's called asoundconf-gtk and it's been in the repository since Feisty, with the Gutsy version supporting PulseAudio (ie; if you have PulseAudio installed, it will route ALSA sound through that by default). However, it is very simple, and doesn't handle interesting things like funky software mixing, or fancy plug-ins. And it only makes changes for the user, as opposed to system-wide (which would involve writing to /etc/asound.conf). When I have some time again, it is on my To Do list to add this kind of thing to asoundconf-ui[0] (the natural continuation of asoundconf-gtk), and get that in the repo to replace asoundconf-gtk.
