..me? ;o)  Maybe dropping usb key "bombs" into those usb holes 
from my r/c B-17E... once I have my model Norden sight set up
straight... ;oD

..yeah, like those random people that you're _not_ talking to, 
because you and they have no idea about each others presence, 
sticking USB sticks into one of the "pc" like server boxes you're 
working on...  e.g. dmesg -Hw in another ssh session would help if 
you set up enough system paranoia, and not too much... like when 
I locked myself out of my isp's bandwidth throttle box...

Now we need to know more about the circumstances.
How are you inserting a USBB stick when the box is far away?
A remote robot in chargeU of e rack of USB sticks?
Random peope in the mall sticking USB sticks into the kiossk you're taking to?
Or something less far-fetched?

Re: [DNG] Devuan on Raspberry Pi 3B+. Sound card driver installation.

I think the 1st thing is the ALSA setup.

Configuration files are:
~/.asoundrc
/etc/modprobe.d/alsausb.conf


I have a barebone computer working as audio server, with an external Audiolab
DAC connected via USB:

~~~
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [MDAC ]: USB-Audio - Audiolab M-DAC
Lakewest Audio Audiolab M-DAC at usb-:00:1d.0-1.6, full
speed
 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI
HDA Intel HDMI at 0xf7d0 irq 43
$ lsusb
...
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0451:adac Texas Instruments, Inc. 
...
~~~

As an example of what your setup might be, here is my ~/.asoundrc :

~~~
pcm.!default{
  type plug
  slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
channels 2
  }
}
~~~

and, using a usb connection, my /etc/modprobe.d/alsausb.conf :

~~~
# ALSA portion
options snd cards_limit=2
alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda_intel
options snd-usb-audio index=0
options snd-hda_intel index=1
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-slot-1 snd-hda-intel
~~~

There are also a lot of system optimization you can do if you want you machine
being a better bit-perfect real-time audio...


Anyway, other setup is required if you are using a software audio server.
I have mpd running, and here (as na example) is the content of my mpd
configuration file /ect/mpd.conf (the DAC setup is in the
`audio_output`section) :

~~~
# Files and directories ###
## music directory: local files
music_directory "/media/AUDIO/AudioHiFi"
## playlist directory
playlist_directory  "/home/mmusr/.mpd/playlists"
## other
db_file "/home/mmusr/.mpd/database"
log_file"/var/log/mpd/mpd.log"
sticker_file"/home/mmusr/.mpd/sticker.sql"
pid_file"/tmp/mpd.pid"
state_file  "/tmp/mpd.state"

# General music daemon options 
## user / group that MPD will run as
user"mpdusr"
## Network
bind_to_address "localhost"
port"6600"
## Other daemon settings
log_level   "default"
restore_paused  "yes"
auto_update "no"
state_file_interval "300"

# Symbolic link behavior ##
#
# following symbolic links outside of the configured music_directory
#follow_outside_symlinks"yes"
# following symbolic links inside of the configured music_directory
#follow_inside_symlinks "yes"

# Zeroconf / Avahi Service Discovery ##
zeroconf_enabled"no"

# Input ###
input {
plugin "curl"
}

# Audio Output 
## ALSA output 
audio_output {
type"alsa"
name"MDAC"
device  "hw:0,0"
mixer_type  "none"
replay_gain_handler "none"
dsd_usb "no"
auto_resample   "no"
auto_channels   "no"
auto_format "no"
}

# Character Encoding ##
filesystem_charset  "UTF-8"
id3v1_encoding  "UTF-8"

# Playlist plugins 
playlist_plugin {
name "cue"
enabled "yes"
}
playlist_plugin {
name "embcue"
enabled "yes"
}
playlist_plugin {
name "flac"
enabled "yes"
}
playlist_plugin {
name "m3u"
enabled "yes"
}
playlist_plugin {
name "extm3u"
enabled "yes"
}
playlist_plugin {
name "rss"
enabled "yes"
}
~~~

Obviously, you should refer to *your* specific hardware and software
configuration, having a closer look to the ALSA (and MPD if used) documentation.

Hope it helps.
Regards

don't use any sound on rpi, but some searching online, pointed here :

...whenever you stick anything into that box in front of you.
