Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: Alsa Config keeps disappearing

[Steve Herber]

I have to unplug my web cam and microphone each time I reboot my system
otherwise my mythtv system is messed up.  I am sure there is a way to configure 
udev to help keep them straight but I have not looked into it.

Does anyone know how to configure a system so I can control which device
goes to each application?

After reading some about the alsa/pulseaudio/jack/oss set of sound
software I am amazed it works as good as it does.

Thanks,
