A better solution is to set the sound card you want as the default, and yes,
there is a way of
doing this without having to force a card to a perticular address.
Have a look in /proc/asound, using the ls -l command, like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /proc/asound

This shows that I have several sound devices in this system. You can see that
my onboard sound
is an Intel card. So unless I change my default, all sound by default will be
played from that
card. The hw numbers on this machine also change, so if I wanted to ensure all
my Audio came out
my Delta 66, (M66 above), I run the following command:
asoundconf set-default-card M66
This creates the files .asoundrc and .asoundrc.asoundconf in your home
directory. Note that this
doesn't set the default system wide, so for example the GNOME login sound will
still play from
whatever soundcard is at 0, but this should help you ensure you get the audio
from your apps
through the card you want.
I also believe the asoundconf-gtk package has similar functionality, wrapped
into a GUI.
Hope this helps.
