Hello Most sound cards now are Plug-n-Play either ISA or PCI. So at boot up, one should be able to determine which devices are installed and automatically load the correct driver based on the PnP info.
I think this would be very useful to have, because then people would not have to know which sound card module they should be loading is. E.g. That the "nVidia nForce sound" should use the intel8x0 driver. The linux kernel with alsa should have already known this and selected the correct driver automatically in much the same way windows 98 does. As I see linux now, it will autoload modules based on the alias lines in modules.conf. e.g. alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-emu10k1 Is there any tool in linux which will automatically create these alias lines in modules.conf based on the PnP info. ?
