What I want to do is have have all my applications use the internal sound card as default, and use the USB sound card whenever it is plugged in. I guess one way of doing that would be with hotplug? When the USB sound card is inserted I run a script that 1) symlinks /etc/asound.conf to /etc/asound.conf_usb 2) restarts alsa And when the USB sound card is removed I run a script that 1) symlinks /etc/asound.conf to /etc/asound.conf_internal 2) restarts alsa How does that sound for a plan? alex -- Alex Polite http://flosspick.org - finding the right open source
