Thanks Clemens, I tried /dev/snd as well but maybe my 'test' is invalid ? My expectations was that if I have rules for USB1-> card1, USB2->card2 and USB3->card3 setup, then reboot with the audio card on USB2 unplugged, then I should not see a card2 in /dev/snd or cat /proc/asound/cards ? What I see, however, is a card1 and card2, no card3.
