Summary:                    Make alsaconf optinal able to create an asound.conf
Description: 
An asound.conf is difficult to create manually due to its difficult to
understand syntax. Would be great if alsaconf could optional create it, so
the user can

* Define in which order the cards appear (e.g., internal AC97, Modem,
USB-Audio and an USB MIDI card)

* Define some dmix devices

* Else? Not familiar enough with dmix, I do not use it :)

A nice idea, but it would be better to write a separate program
to generate asound.conf.  alsaconf writes configuration files for
the ALSA drivers whereas asound.conf is a configuration file for the
ALSA library.

Agreed.  Both issues described are above the scope of alsaconf.

dmix will be default in alsa-lib without any special configuration for
most of mobo drivers in the next version (I hope).

The order of card is not the problem of asound.conf but rather index
module option.  Since alsaconf supports only a single card, this is also 
out or its target.  The hack to move modem to the secondary card (by
James) will be added in the next rext version, too.
