I don't get this last part. My ALSA is built as modules, including the core (I'm guessing that means snd.ko, right?). I don't do anything particular to load them, they're not listed in /etc/conf.d/modules. Yet the mixer save and restore via alsasound works. Could it be that alsasound itself loads the modules on demand, and the warning above is misleading? -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
