Uhm, I'm changing what the default device is by editing
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. If you don't do that, what the default
device (i. e. card 0) is seems to depend on in which order the
corresponding modules are loaded during booting. This order is not
fixed. (Unfortunately, this method usually requires a reboot.)
Looking at the faq, it seems to use card numbers to specify which one
the default card should be. That probably doesn't work when after
rebooting the numbering of the cards has changed.
Hm, I'm just seeing that one of my sound cards isn't listed in
alsamixer. The module for the invisible card is loaded, so why doesn't
the card show up?
