I thought I'd let people know how things were going with this problem I
had (ALSA getting confused over the presence of both my onboard sound
and my external USB<>MIDI adaptor.
Due to other difficulties with the laptop, I backed up my data and
installed Debian Etch, then upgraded that to Lenny/Sid.
Since then, the system has had no problems whatsoever with sound.
Perhaps some of my difficulties came from the accumulated cruft of a
six-year-old Linux installation that had been repeatedly upgraded simply
by changing repositories and updating ...

I found a file called "sound" in the modprobe.d directory. It
already
had an alias setting snd-card-0 to the intel sound driver. So I added alias to it for the snd-usb-audio. Restarting
only brought up error
messages about usb device 2,2, and killed both the USB<>MIDI adapter and
my external flash card reader. So I decided to go the other way -
renamed the sound file to something else and restarted again. Then
everything
came up.
So far, audio has been working since then, but
won't really
know for awhile.
Running GNU/Debian Linux ...
use
the vendor and product IDs from lsusb and lspci to give each alsa driver an
index number to make sure that each driver gets put in the same spot each
boot.
in my modprobe.d/alsa file I have:
options snd-usb-audio index=1,2,3
vid=0x08bb,0x0763,0x0c45 pid=0x2902,0x0199,0x1
