Greetings;
This is lengthy, but I'm trying to put all the info I know about in one
message.
I now have the extra sound card installed, and working for some things
like xmms & tvtime.
I trashed the SBLIve 24 bitter that alsa-1.0.3 didn't know about and put
in a 5+ year old SBLive Value card. It's all showing up in kmix more
or less ok.
Now my question is that how do I go about making sure that when I
reboot, the sound-card-0 and sound-card-1 aliases in modprobe.conf are
configured such that sound-card-0 is always the nforce ac97 stuff,
called apparently intel-8x0 or some such, and that the sound-card-1
assignment is always the emu10k1 and its ilk?
My modprobe.conf regarding this is currently:
%%%%%%this one obviously needs to become snd-card-1 for instance
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
%%%%%%but which 0 do I make a 1 to reassign this stuff?
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
# alias snd-card-1 snd-card-1
# alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
# alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
# alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias char-major-116-* snd
alias char-major-14-* sound
install synth0 /bin/true
A couple of lspci -vv snips showing the sound stuffs

I want to use the nforce2 ac97 stuff for Skype & the SBLive for
everything else, so make your recommendations with this in mind please.
Any and all help gratefully accepted. Thanks.
