+		#    card number, not by name.  Nevermind that it
+		#    litterally does an snprintf "hw:%d" to turn that
+		#    numeric card number in to a name.  Letting the
+		#    user set the name themself would be too
+		#    user-friendly.  However, if CardNumber < 0, then
+		#    it uses the name "default" instead.
+		# 2. The graphical config tool is confused about how
+		#    CardNumbers work.  If you select "default" in the
+		#    GUI, it stores this as CardNumber 0, which is
+		#    quite likely different than the default ALSA
+		#    device.  (ALSA devices are numbered starting at
+		#    0.)  To instead get it to obey the ALSA defaults,
+		#    you need to set CardNumber=-1 (or anything <0).
+		#    There is no way to do this from the GUI.
+		# 3. Not all ALSA devices have a card number; some
+		#    ALSA devices can only be referred to by a name.
