Comment 1 for bug 8107

I think that the solution to this is for applications to take notice
of what sound card it is they are actually talking to -- i.e., for them
to identify cards by their properties (such as the card i.d.) rather
than by the card index which, especially in a hotplug environment, may
be different on different occasions (just as a network card can turn up
as eth0 or eth1 on different occasions).

What we need to discuss is how best to enhance sound applications.
Should alsa-lib be enhanced somehow?
