Alsa card activation order

[Heimdall Midgard <heimdalle@gmail.com>]

I can think of two ways to fix the problem. But I want to know the
Debian Way(tm).

My problem is simple. I have two sound "cards" in my computer. But I
want my onboard sound to be the first sound card recognized by Alsa in
both its /dev/dsp* (OSS emulation) and /dev/snd/pcm* (Alsa proper)
incarnations.

What files in /etc/ do I need to edit to set the card activation order
of my two sound cards ?
