This sounds like a huge waste of time - rather than abandoning something

want to upgrade your kernel to fix a known bug.

If you do not need hotplug for other devices, you
could completely
remove them from your boot process and load snd_usb_audio statically
during boot time in one of the boot scripts. That's how I do it,
because it also allows to pass parameters to the module.
Do you know if there's a deterministic way other than hotplug to get
the dynamic device numbers that a USB device has ben assigned? If
there were, I'd abandon hotplug completely. It's horribly
overcomplicated, but I can't figure out a way to reproduce it's
ability to know what device numbers my stuff has been assigned.
