[pulseaudio-discuss] impossible configuration

Bonjour,

I try to permanently configure the sound on my computer but it always
fails.

By default, when I log-in the config is set to iec958-stereo-output
which does not work and I have to manually change to
output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

I firstly list my cards using pacmd list-cards: (I quote only the card I
want to configure)

The profile I am interested in is: output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

So I type:

pacmd set-card-profile 1 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

And I get what I want, sound is working.

Then I put this command in my ~/.confg/pulse/default.pa:

echo 'set-card-profile 2 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo' >
.config/pulse/default.pa

And this does not work: in the log I get this strange answer:

mars 21 18:15:11 dipankar pulseaudio[8071]: No card found by this name
or index.
mars 21 18:15:11 dipankar pulseaudio[8071]: Échec lors de
l'initialisation du démon

*No card found by this name or index* but pacmd found this card with
that index!!!!!!

How to correct this system misconfigation? The best would be that at
boot time the right card would be detected: ie card 0 device 0 as listed
by aplay -l:
