[SOLVED] Setting default audio capture device

I have a USB webcam with a microphone that is recognized by ALSA after the on-board line-in. This is fine in Skype because I can set the capture device to the USB microphone, but Flash seems to only use the first capture device (listing only "Linux Microphone") recognized by ALSA. Is there any way to set the default (presumably, the first) audio capture device, or get Flash to see my USB microhone?

Re: [SOLVED] Setting default audio capture device

Solved by creating ~/.asoundrc file containing the following:

pcm.usb
{
    type hw
    card U0x46d0x81d
}

pcm.!default
{
    type asym
    playback.pcm
    {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "dmix"
    }
    capture.pcm 
    {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "usb"
    }
}
