U are correct in that things will work without the
.asoundrc but it's my
understanding that if you just use the "default" for alsa, you lose some
performance.(?) I don't recall exactly, but in using the GUI's (Qjackctl
and jackconnect or whatever it was) that I could not get the ports to show
untill I utilized the ICE1712 .asoundrc for a "hoontech" card that is
posted in the Alsa site, and set the port numbers to "0" in Qjackctl. Then
I got the 10/12 I/O's. Jan Depner pointed me there when I asked all the
same questions after buying my Delta 1010LT.
It's true that the ALSA "default" device is a poor choice for JACK.
Long ago, the JACK ALSA backend used that as its default. Because
that doesn't work very well, that backend was changed to use `-dhw:0'
as its default, instead.
