Fedora had already put these lines in modprobe.conf: alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 but I guess by the time it saw them, the usb was already using card0 so it failed utterly rather than simply winding up as card1. I'm wondering what would happen if I had two different USB audio devices plugged in though :-).
