pulse.conf overrides ~/.asoundrc for default

[GitHub issues - edited]

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #134 was edited from flatmax:

On many systems pulse audio sets the default device to pulse. This overrides the settings in ~/.asoundrc.

This is further complicated by using a tool like pasuspender and finding that pulse's default device is still set and overriding ~/.asoundrc

It would seem more empowering to let the user override the default device in ~/.asoundrc and have that take effect over pulse.conf which typically resides in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d
For that matter, it would be more empowering to the user to override anything using ~/.asoundrc, whether it is in alsa,conf.d or elsewhere.
