no. absolutely not. i just added something equivalent to this to
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, right before fsck runs.

   insmod snd-hammerfall-mem

since snd-hammerfall-mem has nothing to do with filesystems on disk,
there is no danger. many other hammerfall users are doing equivalent
things, and its also necessary under windows and macos.

as long as you propose to leave snd-hammerfall-mem in
place. otherwise, you will make it impossible for many people to use
their audio interfaces!
