Please make sure to file bug reports against any application that relies on a fixed device order. Also, it's not necessary to manage the default card via module parameters. Look at gnome-sound-properties, which sets the default card by changing the definition in the user's ALSA config file. Module indexes are a short-term band aid, they should definitely not be considered a real solution. Lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
