Thanks for your help so far.
I understand that I have to have two instances of alsamixer in parallel.
But the new problem is that with the .asoundrc file I have previously
submitted, when I do:
alsamixer -D equal
I do have a CLI interface with which I can change the settings of the
equalizer, but the new settings do not actually influence the sound played
anymore. On the other hand, I have now a volume control that works.
I think that there's still something wrong in my .asoundrc file :-(
