Hi
I'm confused about how to setup alsa. Originally I managed to get things
working, but after buying an usb sound card, I'm even so confused that
I'm not exactly sure what to ask, but I'll try.
I run debian/unstable on a laptop with my own 2.6.4 kernel and alsa 1.0.
I have the following hardware that I believe to be related to alsa:
*Onboard i810 soundcard
*USB Edirol UA-1A sound card
*4 port usb hub
*2 evolution usb-keyboards connected to the hub
*I need one virtual midi port for each keyboard, so 2 for now
The problem is that right now the cards get assigned a card number that
reflects in what order they were inserted. I'd rather have them show up
on fixed locations. Below is my childish attempt on a /etc/modutils/alsa
file. I'm pretty sure it's not correct to refer to snd-usb-midi, since I
don't have a module by that name. Could anyone please give me a hand +
some general bckground information?
Thanks in advance!!!!
