Obviously, my card cannot. What I had in mind was an analog of virmidi which 
viraudio:0, viraudio:1 ... would OR into hw:0. Might be doable with 
a .soundrec (I have never used one). My point was that I want to do it all in 
alsa, no oss, . Jack of course does all this just fine except for apps with 
no jack support.
