I am still using 3.4 STABLE, so I am not sure if that changed in 4.0. Read the man page on pcm to be sure. It explains that the snd0 is for legacy devices while snd1 can be used for newer PCI cards, which is what you are likely using. Hunting down this problem took me a while, but after carefully reading this man page, I was all set.
