asound.conf making PCM volume and alsaequal both working

In my case, actually, my asound.conf does not allow to have PCM vol. and alsaequal both working.

asound.conf :

ctl.equal {
  type equal;
}

pcm.plugequal {
  type equal;
  # Modify the line below if you don't
  # want to use sound card 0.
  # slave.pcm "plughw:0,0";
  # or if you want to use with multiple applications output to dmix
  slave.pcm "plug:dmix";
}

# pcm.equal {   
                  # [u]only PCM volume works for normal user tested with songbird[/u]
                  # [u]only alsaequal works for ncmpcpp with a separated mpd user[/u]
  # Or if you want the equalizer to be your
  # default soundcard uncomment the following
  # line and comment the above line.
pcm.!default {   # [u]only alsaequal works[/u]
  type plug;
  slave.pcm plugequal;
}

Output of aplay -l :
