In this way, even if a sound card booted up as card 0, we could swap it with card 1 without having to unload it. This might require the device naming in /dev/snd to change so that the card number was not included in the device name. Maybe use an extra subdirectory for each card, much like the /proc filesystem uses. James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
