Hm, I do have it loaded. It seems that maybe the issue is that my 
application has multiple input and output streams. It seems to pick one 
of the streams arbitrarily, then upon restarting the application, 
restore all of the streams to that configuration.

The better solution I found was to put something like this in .asoundrc:

pcm.alsadevice {
   type pulse
   device pulsedevice
}

This way I can configure the ALSA application to open "alsadevice" and 
pulseaudio will always connect it to "pulsedevice". Repeat for each 
non-default source/sink I'd like to use.
