[Bug 48377] Dapper Sound System broken by plugging in a Webcam

[Sven Herzberg]

Public bug reported:

I bought a webcam some time ago, now I attached it to my computer and it
works fine. But there's a really big problem for me right now.

As both the webcam and the sound card of the computer are accessed by
alsa, I have two alsa devices: hw:0 and hw:1

Unfortunately the assignment of these devices seems to change with every
reboot (I didn't check this behaviour, but I have the feeling that one
day it works and one day it doesn't).

So, please provide a solution for

a) keeping the sequence of detetion the same with every reboot
b) provide a way to specify the alsa device for the gstreamer alsa sink by something different than the "hw:0" name

** Affects: gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Major
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
