[linux-audio-user] Changing ALSA card order / SBLive synth not working

[Dominic Sacré]

Hi,

I've got two sound cards, a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 and an M-Audio Delta 
Audiophile 2496. The Audiophile was detected as the first card by my 
system (Ubuntu Breezy, kernel 2.6.12), and I managed to change that by 
adding

options snd-emu10k1 index=0
options snd-ice1712 index=1

to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.

But now the SBLive's Midi synth doesn't work anymore. The 
snd-emu10k1-synth module is loaded, and aplaymidi -l does show the 
Emu10k1 Midi devices, however the synth's mixer channels are missing in 
alsamixer -c 0, and I can't hear anything.

Are there any other options I have to pass to the kernel modules? 
snd-emu10k1-synth doesn't seem to have an 'index' option.

Thanks,
    Dominic
