Can you change the order of pcm devices from one soundcard? I  
understand that you can not change the PCI probe order, but maybe the  
order of pcm1-3 if pcm1-3 are on the same hardware.

If this is possible, it may be better to have the pcm device first  
which is most likely used.

Bye,
Alexander.
