- The index numbers (0, 1, ... 7) signify the priority of the device, with the highest priority device being 0, then 1, and so forth.  In theory, applications should first attempt to use the highest priority device first, but if for some reason the application is unable to use the device, it will use the next highest priority device.  For example, if you have a USB sound card that can get picked up with OSS, which browsers, flash, and skype may not output, if you set your USB card at first priority, it will play when using, say, Rhythmbox, but your other applications will play through your other soundcard.  FIXME PLEASE: for more information go to the ALSA-Configuration kernel document.
