Re: [LAU] How to make Jack remember soundcards, not alsa-slots

...or to load devices into specific alsa-slots (hw:0, hw:1...) Does someone have a nice method to do one of these? Since I knew of no other method, I tried loading the cards into specific slots, according to this method found at planetccrma's home page: alias snd-card-0 snd-CARD_0 options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-CARD_0 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-CARD_1 options snd-card-1 index=1 options snd-CARD_1 index=1 ... alias snd-card-N snd-CARD_N options snd-card-N index=N options snd-CARD_N index=N I have two m-audio delta devices and I never found a good way to configure alsa so they would load in a specific order. There was the problem of naming, since both cards have the same name. I think I would prefer the pulseaudio method, which remembers the card itself, not the alsa slot (I don't know anything about that, to be honest). Other things to consider is: More than 5 devices will be used, some of them usb midi (usb midi devices also appear in alsa sound slots). Two m-audio delta cards for audio input (8 + 4 inputs), and at least the sound cards need to always load in the same order with jack. Is it possible to get jack/alsa to remember the sound cards after reboot?
