udev has legitimate bugs and these are just the accessibility-connected
bugs.

Subject: Re: espeakup alsa errors
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?

I will say that the link posted pointed to some interesting
information. I was having a very similar problem on my Chromebook. It
took a long time to figure out that it was because alsa was trying to
talk to the HDMI and not letting me get espeakup running. The thing
that sort of bugs me is that udev should be smart enough to know if it
doesn't see an hdmi device connected it should ignore it and move on
to the next available device. Oh well. Alsa documentation has always
been the pits.
