I've been having great difficulty making linux correctly choose the
default sound card when it boots. I have a via thingy on the motherboard
and a SB Live in a pci slot. I want the SB Live to be the default sound
card, but sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.

What I used to do in the past was to use alsaconf, but this has been
dropped from Ubuntu, so I have tried tweaking /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
in various ways, but nothing has worked.

My latest /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base is pasted below. I would be very
grateful if someone could help me.

Many thanks
Robert
