Re: [gentoo-user] (AMD64) wrong soundcard is becoming default - Gnome unhappy

Hi Stefan,
   Nice idea but it seems it didn't work in my case. I set this in
/etc/modules.autoload

lightning ~ # cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:  kernel modules to load when
system boots.#
# Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels.

snd-intel8x0
snd-hdsp
ohci1394
sbp2
realtime gid=600 any=1
lightning ~ #

and then rebooted. It didn't change the name:

lightning ~ # cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CK804          ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK804
                     NVidia CK804 with ALC850 at 0xda103000, irq 185
1 [default        ]: H-DSP - Hammerfall DSP
                     RME Hammerfall HDSP 9652 at 0xda000000, irq 209
lightning ~ #

Note that in my case it's not that the cards are out of order. They
are in the order that I wanted. The NVidia is #0 and the HDSP is #1.
That is correct. The only thing that is wrong, as far as I know right
now, if the name. It says

1 [default        ]

instead of 

1 [hdsp9652       ]

I got a response back form the Alsa developers. They see a problem
with the way the naming is done in the code. I'm filing a bug report
and it will get cleaned up at some future date.

   Thanks for the idea. I had great hopes!

Cheers,
Mark
