[Bug 198453] Re: Default ALSA device must use PulseAudio, otherwise ALSA applications may fail

[Daniel T Chen]

No, ~/.asoundrc takes precedence because of its position.

front is used because it is extant on nearly all drivers.

As for setting 'default' for both ALSA and PulseAudio, I agree that the
interaction is quite fragile.  I'll be tackling that in jaunty (e.g.,
making each backend respect another's settings as much as sensible).  As
things stand for intrepid, for GSt-based apps, set everything to use
ALSA (instead of Autodetect), and your ~/.asoundrc* will be honoured.
