Reassigning to libasound2, since presumably the apps blindly using
card 0 are using that library and because I trust the ALSA maintainers
to be in touch with upstream and know what to do.  Please feel free to
reassign back to the kernel, udev, or whatever once it is clear what
these packages should be doing.

alsa-lib maintainers, please see [1] for context.

Thanks,
Jonathan
