[linux-audio-user] alsa soundcard numbering

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

having my RME hdsp pcmcia card inserted in my laptop on startup
results in assigning it card number 0 and assigning the built-in
soundcard card number 1. I'd prefer it the other way round, so that
the internal card *always* gets number 0, no matter whether the pcmcia
card is present or not. It used to work that way with a 2.4 setup and
alsa 1.0.4.

My current setup uses debian sarge and a custom 2.6.13.1 kernel.

This is in my modules.conf:

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-1 snd-virmidi
alias snd-card-2 snd-hdsp

I also cannot rmmod the snd-intel8x0 once the computer has booted
despite the fact, that no program is claiming it. With the old setup I
remember that stopping alsa (in /etc/init.d) resulted in a removal of
all snd_* modules.
