CrunchBang Linux

hello #! peoples

http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … nd-asound/ (a post i made a while back when asound was alive)

that solution worked just fine for me with the last #! release....but now.. not,  asoundconf is no more

i have googled the !@#$% out of this and i am unable to find a similiar solution. my headphone works ok with VLC as i can select the sound card in VLC's preferences. but with MPD, iceweasel etc.  im not so sure how to fix it.

preferably i would like all sound to use either the usb headphones or speakers and be able to switch back and forth without rebooting. I would also prefer not to use pulseaudio, but am open.

i ran these with my headset plugged in:

nigel@serendipity:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_intel8x0
1 saa7134_alsa
2 snd_usb_audio

nigel@serendipity:~$ aplay -L
