Indeed, there's /more than one way to skin a cat/ and using an asound.conf to order sound devices for alsa is not absolutely necessary. Removing modules for any unwanted devices will of course disable them and alsa will automatically pick up whichever device is left. I tend to use asound.conf to make sure the order of devices is respected whatever DE I tend to boot into at any time, however, I do not need to permanently disable devices like Peter may want to.
