A recent Debian upgrade (to current testing) broke my carefully constructed solution to the problem of consistent naming of multiple cards. Like many others, I had a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ which assigned a fixed index to each card as the relevant module is loaded: alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=0 and so on. Unfortunately, I had the relevant file in an architecture-specific subdirectory (i386) of /etc/modprobe.d, and version 3.10-3 of module-init-tools no longer reads such architecture-specific aliases. I had to read the Changelog file of the package to discover this. Once I did, the solution was straightforward of course. I just renamed the relevant file to /etc/modprobe.d/myalsa.conf, and all worked as before. While I was at it, I made sure that the file had the .conf suffix, since it will soon be the case (if it isn't already) that only files with this suffix in /etc/modprobe.d/ will be read. A trivial thing, but I post this here in case it might be helpful to someone who encounters the same problem and who didn't happen to read the Changelog for the package.
