OK, the USB enumeration messages are enough, I see.

For the first loop I agree, it's not strictly necessary to check if the
device was registered already if there is only one "sound card" per
device, but the second loop is still needed in some form in order to
respect the "enable" option. I'll simplify that part, thanks.

BTW looking at how caiaq/device.c does it, I noticed that the
snd_card_used[] array is only read but never written, unless I am
missing anything :)

Will do, thanks.
