It means that the given slot is already occupied, or so.  Unlikely a
driver error but a user-setup problem.

Check index options of all sound cards.  For example, try to remove
index options once, and let the system load all devices.
In general, using slots option of snd module is recommended.  Read
ALSA-Configuration.txt for details.
