Hmm, the priority of the sequence of sond devices is done by the
kernel (udev|systemd). If you are interested please run a test as
follows:

Unplug your usb device and reboot. After reboot plug in your usb
device and run 'cat /proc/asound/cards'.


Boot with a plugged in usb device and run 'cat /proc/asound/cards'.

Is there any difference?
