It must be also possible to use udev. I am no an expert, but I know that, if
udev load your usb sound card before alsasound, no matter what is
in /etc/modprobe.conf, the usb sound card will be the first one, that imply the
default card.
Most users do not want that and blacklist usb_snd_audio
in /etc/modprobe,d/blacklist.
