Same device name for identical USB sound cards after every reboot

I want to build a streaming server using Debian 10, Darkice and Icecast that streams two live recorded channels.

The sound cards are two Behringer UCA202 always plugged into the same physical USB-ports of the machine. Let's say one is the upper USB-port and the other one is the lower USB-port.

When checking with amixer -l one of the sound cards is named CODEC and the other one is CODEC_1. You can enter that in the config file of Darkice for the corresponding channel and assign a mountpoint for Icecast there.

So for the moment we have the following configuration:

Card in upper USB -> name is CODEC -> Mountpoint stream1 in Icecast

Card in lower USB -> name is CODEC_1 -> Mountpoint stream2 in Icecast

The problem is that after a reboot the sound cards can sometimes switch their names due to the nature of device discovery. CODEC becomes CODEC_1 and vice versa. And with this happening the streams on the mount points have also switched and stream1 is from the wrong sound card.

Now how can I assign the same name each time so that CODEC is always the sound card on the upper USB-port? Some kind of udev rule probably?

As requested I've added the output of udevadm info -ap /sys/

Here we go with the output of udevadm info -ap /sys/class/sound/controlC0
