Sorry about not replying to the list, I didn't read the header file.
There's some confusion over the method used to order devices in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
as the Alsa wiki says this method is depreciated and to use slot instead
options slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-hda-intel,snd-ice1712,cx88_alsa,
This gets ignored, which it shouldn't now I'm running close to the latest on alsa-tools.
I would be interested if you are pulling the latest from cvs if the slot method works.
Would I be correct in thinking, very dangerous, that if I only list
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
options snd-ice1712 index=0
that that card would always be hw:0.0
and the other devices would be in random order ?
