Oh well, this won't let you set your cards in order. The only way you
can do that is via udev.
That wiki entry will allow you to set ALSA_CARD so that you use a
specific card of your choosing, no matter where it ends up at....
udev really isn't that hard; what you want is to create a symlink
incorporating the physical path:
KERNEL=="dsp*", \
SYMLINK+="sound/$env{PHYSDEVPATH}/dsp"
I think that will work.
Of course you end up with ridiculous device names like
/dev/sound/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4.4/1-1.4.4.4/1-1.4.4.4.1/1-1.4.4.4.1:1.0/dsp
(OK, that usb sound card is at the end of a daisy chain of 4 USB hubs,
but you get the idea.)
You get names that don't change, but are not intuitive by any stretch of
the imagination.
