to remind. We have hotplug. And two modules matching USB audio hardware - "audio" (OSS) and snd-usb-audio (ALSA). When you boot with external audio plugged in it appears to work "by virtue" of coldplug not being used on Mandrake. If you plug in external audio after boot, you are at the mercy of depmod - which module is listed first. So far people hit "audio" :) The only current way is to blacklist one or other (depending on whether OSS or ALSA are selected). To do anthing more serious some internal changes in hotplug are needed + corre. helper. Just in hope somebody will have idea or even solution before 9.2 is out :) -andrey
