Ehm... guess what...

No, wait: I wrote some lines in asoundrc.txt:

  type meter            # Meter PCM
  slave STR             # Slave name (see pcm_slave)
  # or
  slave {               # Slave definition or name
    pcm STR             # Slave PCM name
    # or
    pcm { }             # Slave PCM definition
  }
  [frequency INT]       # Updates per second
  scopes {              # Scopes
    ID STR              # Scope name (see pcm_scope)
  # or
    ID { }              # Scope definition (see pcm_scope)
  }

# PCM scope type definition
pcm_scope_type.NAME {
  [lib STR]             # Library file (default libasound.so)
  [open STR]            # Open function (default
_snd_pcm_scope_NAME_open)
}

# PCM scope definition
pcm_scope.NAME {
  type STR              # Scope type
  ...
}

The rest is obvious, of course ;-)))
