ALSA doesn't use device files, it uses device names. The name of the
first card is "default" or "plughw:0" or "hw:0", the name of the
second card is "plughw:1" or "hw:1".

/dev/dspX is device 0 of card X. /dev/adspX is device 1 of card X.
Both files are used for OSS emulation only.

Each card has its own mixer. Many programs always use the mixer of the
card they're currently playing audio to.

You can always use alsamixer and specify the card number explicitly,
e.g. "alsamixer -c 1".
