I think it's a worthy goal. It's just noise in modules.conf, of course. Irritating, but no more than that. What concerns me more is when you compile ALSA directly into the kernel. To pass the options NOW requires a boot-time parameter list: alsa-module-name=snd_this=x,snd_that=y,snd_the_other=z Every "snd_" here wastes 4 precious bytes on the kernel's command line. Now I don't know what the maximum length of the command line is, but I'm sure I've reached it before. (And had the trailing options silently ignored.) I think economy is only polite with such a limited resource. As for "when", I'd say that the longer you wait, the greater the pain. I have a fairly complicated setup, and the extent of my pain would be here: options snd snd_cards_limit=2 options snd-card-0 snd_index=0 options snd-card-1 snd_index=1 snd_mpu_port=0x330 (Aren't PCI devices nice :-)?) I guess the worst hit would be people with ISA sound cards. Chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
