Could someone repost the link? I want to bookmark it and have inadvertently killed the email that included it. Also, it's very unfortunate that we need to rely on udev to definitively assign sound devices as default, or a particular hw: value. That makes lots of things hard, including scripts and including assigning certain devices to certain kinds of work, like hw:0 for speakup, and hw:8 for high end audio editing, as an example. The only reason udev is a probably for this is that how to do this isn't well documented, and there's no tool I know of that front ends the task properly. PS: We should also be able to clearly define which HW: devices are for pulse, and which for jack, and which for alsa only. Is that too much to ask?
