Snow! I predict that by the time I want to get home tonight, there'll be a crash somewhere and the A14 will come to a complete stop, followed as usual by all of Cambridge.
Stomach bugs! I predict that some kind soul will give me (or worse, Susan) this gift that keeps on giving at some point.
On a more positive note, for anyone else who's been looking for the blunt instrument required to persuade all ALSA applications to use, say, card 1, which in my case, at work, is my USB headphones (Last.fm is particularly problematic and baulked at the few .asoundrc tricks I tried), a fairly easy way is to set the environment variable ALSA_CARD to 1 (e.g. by putting ALSA_CARD=1 in /etc/environment).
