Dear gentoo-users,
yesterday I recognized a strange problem with my soundcards. I have two
soundcards in my system. A Soundblaster, ens1371 based, and a Terratec
DMX6Fire, which uses an ice1712 chip. The Soundblaster is used as the primary
soundcard, recording from tape or vinyl and stereo playback, the ice1712 one
is used for 5.1 playback of dvds.
So, the normal situation is as follows:
~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [AudioPCI ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI
Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0xc000, irq 16
1 [DMX6Fire ]: ICE1712 - TerraTec DMX6Fire
TerraTec DMX6Fire at 0xc400, irq 19
Now, after boot, I _sometimes_ get this one:
~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [DMX6Fire ]: ICE1712 - TerraTec DMX6Fire
TerraTec DMX6Fire at 0xc400, irq 19
1 [AudioPCI ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI
Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0xc000, irq 16
which I don't want, because I always have to adjust my applications ;)
After executing /etc/init.d/alsasound restart, things are as expected.

I searched bugzilla for sound, alsa and udev, but found nothing useful. Well
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128601 sounds similar, but it's about
cdroms and an older version of udev.
Any idea, what's the problem here?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
