Let the live or btaudio get the mixer?  Best I can tell the live gets either 
1 or 2 mixers (or more likely one goes to my onboard via audio) and btaudio 
gets the next in line

# cat /var/log/messages | grep btaudio

What I find odd (and maybe this in one part of my problem) is that none of 
the other dsp's being grabbed get logged to syslog

# cat /var/log/messages | grep dsp

Why do you have 2 _different_ sound-service aliases for btaudio?

What is the purpose of these 2 lines?
