I have only been using jackd with the alsa back end for a short amount of
time (been a ffado user for many years). 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.

Thanks looks like I need to look at what it would take to have the gui
front end (Cadence) behave this way by default

Hi Danni,
Another approach is to force the ALSA (or actually the kernel) to assign
persistent indexes to your cards. This is done through modprobe options.
See the post here
<http://artisan.karma-lab.net/predeterminer-indexes-peripheriques-alsa>
(in French).
Basically, you edit (and/or create) /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to
look like this:
options snd-usb-audio index=0 # this ensures that your usb card
comes in first
options snd-hda-intel index=1 # if you have an intel card...
You can list all the modules which are used by sound devices on your
computer by running " sudo lsmod | grep snd" this into a terminal. You
can set the index number for all of them, and then Jack should find them
always in the same place. This works even for software were you only
have a dropdown list with card index numbers (where method in
http://jackaudio.org/device_naming does not work).
If you have several usb cards, they will all use snd-usb-audio, but you
can still preset their indexes by specifying vendor/product numbers...
This is explained in detail in the post mentioned above. Please tell me
if you need an English translation.
After editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, make sure you either rmmod
then modprobe the corresponding modules, or reboot.
Good luck,
Victor
