   here are some informations I got from experience:
    - if I link .asoundrc.asoundconf to .asoundrc.headset
      my headset is available is the skype sound devices (and works)
    - if remove this link, the headset is no more seen in skype
    - all the other devices, which are listed in /proc/asound/cards,
      are seen by skype, independently of any .asounrc file
    That means that skype is more clever than all other programs
    (including alsamixer),  as it is able to use /proc/asound AND .asoundrc

   that seems in contradiction with the above findings, isn't i?

    that didn't work, i.e. I still don't see the headset in alsamixer (via F6)
