Hi Mark,
what if you want to control the order of two different devices both usb 
(and so both handled by the snd-usb-audio module? In particular I have 
an usb audio interface and usb keyboard which is recognized as an audio 
device (even if it doesn't have audio functionalities). The order 
switches randomly at each reboot.

Thanks in advance,

-c.
