I think your reasoning is incorrect. The "default" device should already
be setup in the global "/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf" file so it works even
if asoundrc does not exist. The reason you should use "default" is
because pulseaudio, if installed, will automatically override it for you.

While that improves the situation, it doesn't fix the fact that running
the emulator "alsa" mode is still broken.
