This is as it should be:

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Device         ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio Device
                      Elite Silicon USB Audio Device at 
usb-0000:00:13.0-1, full speed
 1 [IXP            ]: ATIIXP - ATI IXP
                      ATI IXP rev 80 with ALC658D at 0xfe02a000, irq 17


Otherwise, audio wouldn't work at all.
