Hi!
If you can use the plughw:0,0 and plughw:0,1 devices with aplay
directly, you should use these devices in your asoundrc file, too. Try:
pcm.analog {
type copy
slave.pcm "plughw:0,0"
}
pcm.digital {
type copy
slave.pcm "plughw:0,1"
}
If using these devices with aplay -Danalog and aplay -Ddigital work, you
can use one of them as your default device by adding this:
pcm.!default {
type copy
slave.pcm "analog"
# OR
slave.pcm "digital"
}
Use one of the two lines depending on whether you rather want to use
analog or digital output as your default device. Well programmed
applications will use this device without having to be configured.
This time, I tested the code above :-) Sorry for not doing this the last
time...

I don't agree fully with what they write there. I think you should be
able to produce sound at all without an asoundrc file (using a wav file
with the right sample rate etc), but you won't be able to do that the
way you want in 90% of the cases. If your sound card only accepts a
48kHz sample rate and you want to play files with other rates, you DO
need an asoundrc to solve that problem system wide.
Hope this helps...

Without using .asoundrc - which, according to http://alsa.opensrc.org/.asoundrc , is a good thing: "If your system won't work without one, and you are running the most current version of ALSA, you probably should file a bug report."
