[PD] selecting an alsa soundcard at startup

[tim vets]

How do I have pd select the correct sound card, regardless of what device
numbering it gets from alsa?
The problem is now that for some reason, the device listing of my sound
cards and midi devices keeps changing quite often.
After a reboot, it is often the case that pd tries to connect to the wrong
alsa device, and I have to select it manually again.
Anyone know a good trick to cope with this?
Thanks
Tim
