Duplicatingchannels doesn't work

[Andras Lorincz <andras.lorincz@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm using tvtime and alsa. The sound of the tv tuner is connected to
the auxiliary port of my Creative Live 5.1. I also have 4 sattelites
and a subwoofer and when watching tv  only the two front speakers
work. I tried to solve this by editing .asoundrc like this:

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "surround41"
    slave.channels 4
    route_policy duplicate
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

This doesn't work. Can someone tell me how could I make it work. Thanks!
