If you can live without automatic sound card detection, you can comment
out module-udev-detect and load the necessary module-alsa-card
instances manually. You can do the loading in default.pa if you have
the USB sound card plugged in all the time (I assume this is a USB
sound card), or alternatively you can manually use "pactl load-module"
when plugging in the device.
module-alsa-card takes the device_id= argument, which is either the
alsa card index or the alsa card name. Since the index can change, it's
better to use the card name. The card name can be seen in
/proc/asound/cards. For example, I have these cards:
0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
HDA Intel PCH at 0xd112c000 irq 126
1 [iTwo ]: USB-Audio - PreSonus AudioBox iTwo
PreSonus PreSonus AudioBox iTwo at usb-0000:00:14.0-6.4, high speed
The name to use with the device_id argument would in my case be "PCH"
or "iTwo" (the string between the square brackets).
There's currently no support for disabling ignore_dB for a single card
when using module-udev-detect.
