[linux-audio-user] ALSA: What is the website missing?

[Benjamin Flaming]

Here's another vote in favor of this.  I suspect that .asoundrc is probably 
ALSA's most powerful and underused feature - simply due to lack of accessible 
documentation.  Suggested TOC:

- What is .asoundrc
- What you can do with .asoundrc
- What you *cannot* do with .asoundrc
- Basic syntax
- Examples
