Now I have /dev/USBspeakers and /dev/USBheadset, and wonder whether 
ALSA can recognize /dev/USBspeakers rather than "SiS7012 AC'97 
Sound Controller" as the default device.

http://wiki.debian.org/ALSA mentions "indexes" and /dev/dsp.
No other /dev mentioned.  ALSA indexes predate udev; correct?

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Alsa-sound-6.html mentions /dev/snd/*.
No mention of making a specific /dev/snd/ the default.

Does anyone have a way of configuring a specific /dev as default?

Thanks again,               ... Peter E.
