My hw:0 is the audio card. The MIDI card is card 2. There is no card 1 right 
now.

Many old apps, i.e. windows stuff run in wine, think everything is the 0th 
card and do not let you choose another.

I set the audio card to AudioPCI which is the name shown in 
/proc/asound/cards. See if that helps.

Best would be to disable pulseaudio in KDE. How does one do it. If I really 
want pulse, I need to configure for jack and start that first! It is not smart 
enough to let the sink/source plugins simply sit and wait for jack to start 
later.
