The third column of lsmod is headed with Used by and consists of a number and a list of modules which use it.

Everything with a 0 is not used.

Not true. Anything with a 0 is not used by another module. That's not the
same as not used.

I think a 0 indicates that it's not used at all. For example, lsmod here says:

  Module                  Size  Used by
  oss_audigyls           21888  0
  osscore               554244  1 oss_audigyls

If I start Amarok and play a tune, lsmod says:

  Module                  Size  Used by
  oss_audigyls           21888  4
  osscore               554244  3 oss_audigyls

Note that after the "4" is nothing. That probably means it is used, but *not* by a module? That would mean that 0 means really totally unused by anything.
