I remember that I switched on the virmidi driver when rebuilding my 2.6.10 kernel. Maybe I should switch it off (I don't actually use it...)?

Well, the USB card now always appears as card 0. I can deal with it, but it would be nice to have the AC 97 back as 0 / default to have the usual news video feed outputting sound to the onboard speakers of my notebook and to use USB audio connected to my monitor speakers for audio work only.
