[LAU] ALSA not picking up my USB audio device

Hm... I had seen some reports online about USB audio devices not being recognized in Ubuntu 12.04. It seems I'm being bitten by this problem. Sometimes, I turn on the m-audio, and it shows up in lsusb but not aplay -l. This happened just a little while ago. The device worked fine after a reboot.

Is there a solution, other than rebooting frequently?

Thanks,
James
