You can better use slots option for snd module instead of specifying index in each driver for 2.6.25 or later kernels. That is, options snd slots=snd-intel8x0,snd-hda-intel will assign the specified drivers in the first two slots. And this means also that these two slots are reserved. The other drivers, e.g. a hotplugged usb-audio, won't be assigned in these slots even usb-audio is loaded before intel8x0. See ALSA-Configuration.txt for details.
