I was under the assumption that once you made a card > default, it would be the one used for any open. That is not how ALSA works. You did not "make a card the default", you defined a card (more precisely a pcm and a ctl) called "default", overriding any previously defined card with the same name. You could have called it anyway you like: the name "default" is not technically special for ALSA. When an ALSA application opens a pcm, it has to provide a name. The documentation states that the name should be "default" unless the application has a good reason to use another pcm. The canonical good reason is "the user said so", but any application can define whatever it considers a good reason. Mplayer considers that playing 6-channels content is a good reason to try and use "surround51" instead as "default". I tend to agree with that, as it allowed me to set up ALSA differently for stereo and surround contents. You just have to override "surround51" exactly as you overrode "default".
