I got the original system back! I put the two new lines ahead of the lines sending control to pulseaudio and on first boot the system didn't work. So I ran speaker-test which must have given pulseaudio a clue because after the static and me hitting control-c to exit speech came on the correct speakers. When I type the speech is very chopped, but I can experiment with order of lines in asound.conf to see if that will improve anything. Also aaplay gave me the correct card number.
