the problem is that you're modifying the obsolete config file (see
below).
anyway, try to load directly the module, not from the init script.
that is, run the following as root (suppose that snd-via82xx is not
loaded yet):
# modprobe snd-via82xx dxs_support=1
so that the module parameter is passed directly.

when dxs_support=2, you'll have no DXS channel PCM (see
/proc/asound/pcm).
with dxs_support=3 and 4, you see always 48k DAC rate in
/proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0 regardless of the playback
rate. dxs_support=3 keeps 48k in the PCM hw_params
(/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params) while dxs_support=4 accepts
other rates, too.
dxs_support=1, AC97 and hw_params rates will vary.

bah, then it's now called /etc/modprobe.conf.
/etc/modules.conf is OBSOLETED!
add the options to /etc/modprobe.conf.
