Even worse is that udev seems to discover the sound cards in the reverse order to coldplug. My Audigy card becomes /dev/dsp1 and the Intel card is /dev/dsp0. Unfortunately, Audacious, my music player of choice, doesn't seem to offer any choice of which dsp to use.
A couple of notes: 1. any application using /dev/dsp* is _not_ using alsa. It is using the legacy oss emulation mode of alsa. Real alsa device names are things like "hw:0,0", or virtual device names like "default". 2. The only way to set the card order is to load the drivers in the desired order. udev unfortunately has no control over which card becomes "hw:0" vs "hw:1". 3. You can prevent udev from coldplugging drivers automatically by aliasing the PCI ID of the hardware to "off". For example, my ipw3945 wireless card will not work when coldplugged by udev, so I have the following in /etc/modules.d/ipw3945: alias pci:v00008086d00004222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off alias pci:v00008086d00004227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off This inhibits udev from loading the ipw3945 module when it scans the PCI bus (ok, technically the pci device entries in /sys). If you do something similar, adding alias entries to /etc/modules.d/alsa, you should be able to have the modules loaded in the correct order when the alsasound script runs. You can get the list of pci aliases for a module with: grep <module_name> /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias Remember to run modules-update after making changes in /etc/modules.d/ for the changes to take effect.
