I've discovered on my desktop that if I disable the onboard audio (which I don't use at all), ALSA doesn't load or start.
My multi-tracking audio card is pci so the system is seeing it before alsa loads, that may not be the case with USB audio. In fact with a PCI sound card, the bios may have to deal with it before the kernel ever sees the system, so it is the same as an internal card. I use two cards, I have a delta 66 for tracking and an ensoniq (pre soundblaster) card that is only used for it's MIDI interface. I wish I could just load the midi part of the ens1370 driver, but I guess the audio quality is (for what it is) usable if I really want 8 ins (I only have 8 mic pres)... but I have yet to use more than 2 inputs at once anyway.
Jackdbus starts with session, PA has all devices turned off so any audio goes through jack. I think I will hack together something in the systray for changing jack's latency... maybe turn off pa-jack as latency goes down... turn off some of the system services while I am at it, deal with ondemand too.
