WARNING: Latest Linphone on Arch breaks device access

[Janina Sajka]

Haha! Chris Brannon, you rock! Mission accomplished

I now have in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf the USB sound card device
ordering that makes the trick you suggested work like a charm:

ALSA_CARD=Headset linphonec; linphonec

brings up the SIP phone and works as expected. I think this will
seriously do until the real thing comes along! <satisfied grin>

Thanks again, Chris!
