Hi,
thanks for the reply.

Let me make sure I understood it in general..... Is it possible to use same plugins (or any other) if my embedded device is connected to my  desktop machine via USB (assuming that I have all USB data transfer mechanism/drivers underlying).

If I setup a virtual device in .asoundrc, audio (or say aplay) applications will pass audio data to my virtual device ??
Do I also need to create any such virtual interface from kernel code as well ?
