Set default ALSA device

Is it possible to set the default ALSA device? I have an Audigy2 NX card and have to create a device (called 48000) to upmix 44000hz sample rates to 48000hz so they sound right. My ~/.asoundrc file looks like this at the moment...

pcm.48000Hz {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
rate 48000
}
route_policy default
}

Is there any way to get ALSA to automatically use this device so the sound always sounds right?

Ditto, this would be very useful.

I've figured out how to do it thanks so someone on the ALSA mailing list. This is my ~/.asoundrc file...

Code:

pcm.NX48000Hz
{
	type plug
	slave
	{
		pcm "hw:0,0"
		rate 48000
	}
	route_policy default
}

pcm.!default = NX48000Hz

That should work a treat. Is does for me anyways.
