I have a multiseat setup which is missing the separated sound feature, for that I've bought a usb sound card.
now I have two cards, the O\B one and the usb one.
both cards do work (tested them using mplayer) so I've went to devise a way to try and assign them, the best idea that I've cameup is to use .asoundrc so I created the following file:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
while testing I've discovered that if card is set to 0, I get this:
MPlayer2 2.0-467-ga816810 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team

but if I set card to 3, the usb card plays without any problem.
if I remove the file, the O\B card plays ok.
here is my cards layout:

card 3: Device [Generic USB Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]

why is that? is there a way to configure it that it will play depeding on the card?
Thanks.
