Hi Mark,
what if you want to control the order of two different devices both usb
(and so both handled by the snd-usb-audio module? In particular I have
an usb audio interface and usb keyboard which is recognized as an audio
device (even if it doesn't have audio functionalities). The order
switches randomly at each reboot.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Cesare. Searching through my various mailbox's, I found this posted by
Clemens Ladisch (alsa developer).

This alone doesn't work when multiple devices are handled by the same driver.
The snd-usb-audio has a "pid" parameter to specify that a device with a
certain product ID should go to a specifc index. For example,
options snd-usb-audio index=1,2 pid=0x1234,0x5678
would force the device with product ID 1234 to come first.
Vendor and product IDs can be listed with lsusb.

Obviously you need to change the pid's to your actual pid's for your usb
devices, then the usb devices should always be loaded in the same order.
All the best.

In general, yes, but not so much by 'preventing' the mixer from being
the default device as much as making the built in sound card the
default.
This is a bit distro specific but where ever you set up your Alsa
modules you can set which sound card is considered the default. On my
system it looks like this:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-hdsp
options snd-hdsp index=1
I presume that you probably have a driver for the internal device and
maybe USB-audio for the mixer. Just set the USB as 1 and the built in
as 0 and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps,
Mark
