http://talkingarch.tk/ handles the problem this way. First after enough
software boots to do it, a sound card quantity test is done. If the
number is more than 1, a dialog comes up where a user gets told all
sound cards are being tested and when the user hears a beep on the
desired sound card they have 10 seconds to hit a key to select that
card. If no choice is made, then the first available sound card gets
used by default. What I need to do with talkingarch is to test this
with a very good pair of usb speakers I have and install talkingarch
that way and then see if udev overrides my choice on first boot after
that.

My question is how can you choose card 1 so I can hear Espeakup?
Mmm, that's an expected issue. We have not implemented anything about
that.
You'd have to setup /etc/asond.conf,
Or just setting an ALSA_CARD environment variable.
The question is rather: how to let the user request that? I don't think
adding another boot menu item would be nice. Adding a shortcut after
boot is not really straightforward, and the user would still have to
know that there are several sound cards and that the shortcut should
be used to switch between cards. Making espeakup always talk on each
and every device is not really an option either. Maybe we could make
the installer, when several cards are detected, talk "To use this sound
card, press 0" on card 0, then talk "To use this sound card, press 1" on
card 1, etc., what do people think?
