Hi all, i have three soundcards on my computer (one internal, 2 usb) running under FC8. I use this to run two mpd's (music player daemon) on the two USB-Soundcards. The soundcards in my system makes a great race during startup and you can never predict which one wins. Since the setup defines an index of the internal motherboard card in /etc/modprobe.conf, this card is not available anymore if the USB-Soundcards are detected first. In my opinion this is a bad behavior of fedora core. Users should be able to decide which id which soundcard get. Of cource, you can write udev rules for that, but IMO this is the job of fedora. Why don't we delay the start of the soundcards until all interfaces are enumerated? If this is done immediately before running rc.local, everything would be fine and there are no race conditions any more. This would also make sure that a soundcard doesn't disappear because the given index is used by another card.
