Switch pcm profile without logout
 
Below is my ~/.asoundrc, which is working as desired. I can change the "pcm.!default" value, log out then back in, and it takes effect as desired.

How can I switch the profiles without logging out?

Code:
pcm.mono_right {
  type route
  slave.pcm  "cards.pcm.default"
  ttable.0.1 1
  ttable.1.1 1
 }

pcm.mono_left {
  type route
  slave.pcm  "cards.pcm.default"
  ttable.0.0 1
  ttable.1.0 1
 }

pcm.!default pcm.mono_right
#pcm.!default pcm.mono_left

/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

Might do it.

Nope, that doesn't do it. You first have to kill all applications which are using alsa.

Running the command "alsa force-reload" seems like the best solution so far, but I don't like the applications being killed. Seems like a system limitation though.
