In this picture here is the problem:

I need it to pick up my mixer devices or I can not use alsa for anything with a microphone.
Alternatively, when using OGG if I tell it to come out of my headphones the sound comes out of my speakers. No option fixes this. Possibly because both my sound devices are called "USB Audio" ? (usb headset + speakers plugged into external usb sound card)
