Hi Orm. If you add options lines in /etc/modutils/sound as follows, you should 
find that the cards load in the order you want.

options snd-intel8x0 index=0
options snd-hdsp index=1
options snd-virmidi index=2

Then run update-modules and /etc/modules.conf will be updated with the options 
added to it

I had a similar problem with my usb midi keyboard being loaded first , and 
setting the options fixed that. All the best. Nigel.
