Does your distribution have a global Alsa configuration file, similar to
~/.asoundrc? If so, I would write it there, then configure PulseAudio
separately.

For my USB head set, the configuration is:

pcm.!default front:Headset

which will work if placed in ~/.asoundrc (for the local user, naturally).
