This should probably be better explained:  I have to sound cards: an
intel internal one and an Advanced Logic (AL) one attached to the PCI
bus.  Normally, the internal one is recognized first and then the AL one
one, but I use the following lines in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf (a file
I created) to have the AL sound card be first (because that's the one I
prefer to use):

alias snd-card-0 snd-als4000
options snd-als4000 index=0

alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=1

This works as is seen by the /proc/asound/cards file on this system:

[05:22][jose@jose-desktop: /etc/modprobe.d]$ more /proc/asound/cards
 0 [ALS4000        ]: ALS4000 - Avance Logic ALS4000
                      Avance Logic ALS4000 at 0xb400, irq 17
 1 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 22
[05:22][jose@jose-desktop: /etc/modprobe.d]$ 

It is also reflected in the sound properties dialog as is seen in the
screen shot I'm attaching,  However, even if I have selected the AL card
in the dialog and then log out.  When I log in the intel card is
*always* selected as is also shown in the screen shot, which is not what
should happen.

Title:
  gnome-sound-applet doesn't remember the chosen output device between
  logins

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Whenever I login to my account (usually after a boot up), the selected
  output device in the settings of the sound applet always defaults to
  the first sound card found and not the one that I've selected in the
  previous session. (I have two sound cards).  That's a little
  bothersome; the sound card that was selected in a previous session
  should be remembered.
