Once upon a time, I wrote a patch like below, to assign the USB-audio
device to a specific device path. Would it help in your case?
(Of course, it's useless for a real hotplug.)
Following the sequencer client name to the card name change is likely
no-go. The sequencer subsystem is basically independent from the
underlying device implementation, and it makes many things
inconsistent.
Another solution would be to load the sequencer stuff only after all
your devices are set up.

Added devpath module option to specify the USB devpath for the
specific device index.
