Yes, the three lines have the same effect as keeping the USB sound device unplugged until on-board sound is initialized. Problem solved. Thanks!

Odd that the developers and maintainers have ignored this problem for so long. The on-board device should not have to be card0 to work. Arbitrary and superfluous constraints on order of device initialization are contrary to the intention of USB and udev. Thanks for all the help. I hate to think of sorting this out without the ideas and guidance. Regards, ...
