[LAU] Several USB cards position in /proc/asound/cards

Sorry in advance for crossposting. I used to have three soundcards in this system. One internal soundcard embedded in my mobo, then an RME PCI soundcard, and an USB MIDI interface. Then I added this code to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf . # Make sure internal soundcard grabs index 0 alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-rme96 alias sound-slot-1 snd-rme96 options snd-rme96 index=1 alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio alias sound-slot-2 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=2 So in /proc/asound/cards the internal soundcard gets index 0, the PCI soundcard gets index 1 and the MIDI interface gets index 2. Now I bought an USB webcam, which also has a mic input. It appears in the system as another USB soundcard. The problem is that during boot as hotplug runs before anything else the first soundcard gets index 2 as specified by alsa-base.conf but the second soundcard overrides index 0. Module snd-intel8x0 is loaded but internal soundcard is not available and does not appear in /proc/asound/cards. How do I specify order of *several* USB soundcards in alsa-base.conf? Any information very useful so thanks in advance.
