Re: [LAU] perhaps why some of us have more trouble w/ pulseaudio than others (ICE1712/M-audio delta problem w/ pulseaudio)

PA or not, this is somewhat getting back to the original question: how can we get a reliable index assignment on startup with several soundcards. I'm not using PA, but mostly because I noticed that it uses (much) more CPU with many desktop applications, due to resampling I was told. I have an internal HDA, an nvidia graphics chip, a nanokontrol and a UA-25. The latter both use snd-usb, though one obviously cannot produce sound. The nvidia chip seems to expose an audio device (?) handled by a snd-hda-intel module, as does the snd-hda-intel soundchip. Although the first one cannot produce sound. So I would like the following order to be maintained to have desktop applications adress a working soundcard and to have the UA-25 always at the same index for JACK. 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xfbff8000 irq 32 1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xfde7c000 irq 16 2 [UA25 ]: USB-Audio - UA-25 EDIROL UA-25 at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1, full speed 3 [nanoKONTROL ]: USB-Audio - nanoKONTROL KORG INC. nanoKONTROL at usb-0000:00:1d.0-2, full speed
