Sorry for being inexperienced with Fedora configs but how I do that?
Ensuring that Juli@ driver modules are loaded first is in practice
difficult to achieve. Thanks to always so exciting Udev.

By the way /etc/modprobe.conf is an empty file. All the stuff is
in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.dist and most of it don't make any
sense. At least to me anyway. Where's /etc/modprobe.d/alsa for example?
I know that in newer Alsa I might be able to change the order of the
cards by issuing index for them. Like shown in here:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/MultipleCards#How_to_choose_a_particular_order_for_multiple_installed_cards

Unfortunantely that method doesn't seem to work in Fedora 9 thanks to
PulseAudio and very different alike configs.

How to change order of the sound cards now because in F9
system-config-sound has been removed? This is just the thing I have been
asking since the first message with this topic.


Thanks
