I am also dealing with a friends cheap laptop which is having issues; basically the order of the alsa devices is changing with every boot which means I have to configure jack every time I want to use it. Is there any way to get jack to remember the description of the device rather than the number and search for that description on startup (then use the device number if that fails). This would seem to me like a much saner way of doing things to me.
