That doesn't help with programs that hardcode a device name like "hw:0". You could try something like the following to find any programs that still try to use "hw": pcm.my_hw { @args [ CARD DEV ] @args.CARD { type string default 1 } @args.DEV { type integer default 0 } type hw card $CARD device $DEV subdevice -1 } pcm.dmixer { slave.pcm "my_hw:1" ... } pcm.!hw = blow_up (You could also redefine "hw" to another valid device, but it would be a better idea to adjust the configuration of the respective program to use the correct device.)
