It is shown in [brackets] in /proc/asound/cards. By default, the card ID is the last word of the card's name; if it is not unique, ALSA changes it so that it is.

No, playback and capture device names are independent. hw:0,0 is the first (playback or capture) device on card 0; hw:0,1 is the second (playback or capture) device on card 0. > You can give more meaningful names in your .asoundrc configuration. > But generally NOT HD#, that's a grub thing for Hard Drive. The default ID for a card named "Audiotrak Prodigy HD2" _is_ "HD2". This is perfectly valid, and has nothing to do with Grub. > -ao alsa:device=hw:2 mplayer's silly quoting/escaping rules require "-ao alsa:device=hw=2" for this.
