Consider setting up /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf file to ensure a consistent ordering of all your USB devices.I have problem that I've been trying to figure out with no luck. The
audio interface keeps changing for example:
Today: Maudio 24/96 is hw:1 and Midisport 4x4 Anniv is hw:0.
Yesterday before reboot: Maudio 24/96 is hw:0 and Midisport 4x4 Anniv is hw:1
etc, back and forth, each reboot...
for example, I use:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1760 2010-03-12 11:32 /etc/modprobe.d/snd_usb_audio.conf

I usually use qjackctl and have to keep changing the presets with settings which is annoying.

card 2: M66 [M Audio Delta 66], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
So use "M66" as the ALSA name, for jack, e.g. '/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:M66 ...'

PS: you may want to leave device 0 unreserved. That way when you plug in a new USB device (before you've added it to /etc/modprobe.d) it won't get assigned to card0 automatically. That's what would happen by default (a bug IMHO) and prevent whatever you had setup previously as card0 from iniitializing.
Then when jack or alsa attempts to use the card, it fails. In fact, plugging in a new unrecognized usb device, then starting up qjackctl can cause qjackctl to place some bad values in ~/.config/rncbc.org/QjackCtl.conf and the next thing you know your audio is all horked up (even after removing the offending USB device and rebooting) until you delete the QjackCtl.conf and set it up from scratch.
