Thanks for the many answers in the meantime. I reply to this one since
it is closest to what I want.

Just to be clear:
if exists USB use USB
else use internal
Is that about it?
Yes, this is exactly what I want.
I have configured the internal interface so that it only outputs to the
headphone jacks, because I don't want my laptop to make any unexpected
sounds in the library, office, etc. (one reason why I don't use pulse:
it messes with the alsa mixer).
In the very rare occasion that I do need to use pulse, I also start it
manually. I have taken all kinds of measures to prevent pulse from
starting itself. This question is solely about alsa.
Some questions:
Will the USB AI be plugged in while the system is running? Or before
boot?
Both. It occasionally happens that I'm out, suspend the machine, take it
home, plug it in. It would be nice if it would use the USB interface
after resume.
Will you be starting and stopping Jack, or like it to
be
running from login till logout?
Jack is no problem, I start it manually from CLI or ardour when I need
it.
Thanks,
