I've battled with .asoundrc before so I know my way around a bit.
Been a while since I looked at dmix. 
If I run at say 128 Jack frames, will dmix slow things appreciably, 
 particularly with a complex .asoundrc ?

This would be handy.

Holy crud that's nice !!! You really went to town on this !
How the heck did you manage the slider markings, after I posted I thought it 
 was impossible to satisfy, especially with different cards  ?
