I've installed Ubuntu 9.04 alpha 2 and applied all the updates for this
test. I don't have two sound cards in this test machine, so I can't
confirm exactly the same behaviour, but I've made a simpler test as
described below and I believe the problem is still present.
- start alsamixer
- check that default mixer is pulseaudio
- create a ~/.asoundrc file with the following content:
--- cut here ---
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
--- cut here ---
- start alsamixer
- check default mixer and it's still pulseaudio (bug!). ~/.asoundrc should
override default settings, but it's not working.
- comment ctl.!default entry in /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf
- start alsamixer
- check that hw:0 mixer is the default mixer.
- change ~/.asoundrc with the following content:
--- cut here ---
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
--- cut here ---
- start alsamixer
- check that pulseaudio is the default mixer. just to make sure ~/.asoundrc
is being read. (ok!)
So, the conclusion is that's not possible to change default alsa devices
without changing files in /usr/share.

Alsa does not honor pcm.!default in ~/.asoundrc because of
/usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf
