Thanks.

What I want to do is have have all my applications use the internal
sound card as default, and use the USB sound card whenever it is
plugged in.

I guess one way of doing that would be with hotplug?

When the USB sound card is inserted I run a script that
1) symlinks /etc/asound.conf to /etc/asound.conf_usb
2) restarts alsa

And when the USB sound card is removed I run a script that
1) symlinks /etc/asound.conf to /etc/asound.conf_internal
2) restarts alsa

How does that sound for a plan?
