you mean put snd-intel8x0 index=0 into /etc/modules?
I didn't know that any arguments was possible in this file, so that is why I
sound so confused maybe.
Let me say right now, I just solved the arts sound problem as well. I simply
reset the arts settings to the standard values and rebooted artsd. I have
system sounds up now. This means everything works ok for me now. If I need
the usb sound device, once in a while, I can modprobe it manually.

I don't have this file /etc/modprobe.d/sound. Should I create it myself? I
don't like creating new configuration files in /etc.. What is the format of
this file?
Here is a directory listing of /etc/modprobe.d
aliases arch display_class nvidia-kernel-nkc
alsa-base arch-aliases libsane pnp-hotplug
alsa-base-blacklist blacklist linux-sound-base_noOSS
Anyway, since I have it up and running now, I probably don't want to tinker
with it any futher.

Yes.

When I blacklist the the modem and cam, the SI7012 becomes card 0, but it is
not marked as default. I don't know if that's an error or because it is the
only one, and therefore implicitly the default card. And in any case, it now
works in this configuration.

NOOO!! :) I would never use artsd for anything other than system sounds.. It
is insanely laggy and generally unstable. I gave up trying to use arts a long
time ago.
Arts bad. Direct to alsa good.
Thanks for all the help.
