I think that won't work, suppose the following scenario: User buys a new eeepc, tinkers with Xandros, and: - Turns the webcam off (won't be seen on lsusb) - Turns WiFi off (won't be seen on lspci thanks to pciehp) - Turns bluetooth off (won't be seen on lsusb) How do you detect these features? Send ACPI commands, turn everything on, detect them (lspci/lsusb/iwconfig/whatever), turn everything off? Another issue is detecting ALSA channels... You can assume that the wireless interface and kernel module will be the same during a period of time, but the alsa channels may change depending on the kernel version AFAIK. May I propose a boot-time detection of the ALSA channels?
