There is now (as of Dapper) a system in place to use the more human-friendly string from ``asoundconf list''. Using asoundconf(1)'s convenience macro, set-default-card, will write an ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf that is resilient to changing device indices.
Please report whether it works in Dapper. If it doesn't, please try today's Edgy live cd.
