Yes, it is possible. I remembered a post from Christian Zoz about it, with the relevant scripts attached: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-hotplug-devel&m=105176985220653&w=2 The trick is to include "snd-usb-audio" (and some other module names) in the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file; this prevents the automatic module loading. Then, you can invoke in your own hotplug script a "modprobe snd-usb-audio" command when the usb event ($ACTION environment variable) is "add", and "modprobe -r snd-usb-audio" when the event is "remove". But the problem with this was already argued by Karsten: what if you have more that one Tascam USB device? when you plug in the second device, the module unload command will fail because the module is busy, and the fpga configuration data will not be loaded. The solution proposed is a smart loader program talking the hwdep device created by a kernel module, instead of doing the USB transfer by itsef. Of course, if you have a single device, rbtload can be used from hotplug scripts or even be invoked by modutis (pre-install in modules.conf) if you don't want to use hotplug, and you don't plug/unplug the device very often. A better solution IMO is to use hotplug to trigger a smart loader talking to an ALSA hwdep device.
