It's a severe "misfeature" in my opinion that caused me problems years ago. 
The first soundcard becomes "default", which can probably be overridden in 
many different ways.

However, I really think a hack should be put in to prevent "virtual MIDI" from 
ever being in the first slot, it's just a bug asking to happen.
