I found a file called "sound" in the modprobe.d directory. It already
had an alias setting snd-card-0 to the intel sound driver. So I added an
alias to it for the snd-usb-audio. Restarting only brought up error
messages about usb device 2,2, and killed both the USB<>MIDI adapter and
my external flash card reader. So I decided to go the other way -
renamed the sound file to something else and restarted again. Then
everything came up.

So far, audio has been working since then, but won't really know for awhile.
