I know so far. But I would like to get a bit more from ALSA. For 
example, open a 'slave' 2-ch device, and open some mono subdevices that 
will be 'routed' to that slave, according to 'route table'. ...If you're 
familiar with ALSA terminology.

Something similar can be done using .asoundrc configuration file, so I 
assume that the code exists. Furthermore, there is ALSA plug-in API that 
lets me create a 'routed' subdevice. The only problem is that, once set, 
the 'route table' cannot be changed.

As it has been said in this thread, this is probably out of ALSA's domain.
