Yes, that's a feature. You can change the device for a given plugin, but
not the plugin itself.

No, Linux is *CRAP*, not ALSA. (just kidding)

Are you sure it is ALSA? ALSA is usually very stable, but USB is not. I
think USB is the worse part of the Kernel.

That's technically not possible.

Just check the debug output to be able to determine why it happens. If
the device becomes unavailable, then it probably closes the stream,
which is a normal behavior.

Not me, but I'm having zillion other problems with 2.6 and USB.
