Module Loading:
===============
When a sound card is first referenced and sound is modular the sound system
will ask for the sound devices to be loaded. Initially it requests that
the driver for the sound system is loaded. It then wwill ask for
sound-slot-0, where 0 is the first sound card. (sound-slot-1 the second and
so on). Thus you can do
alias sound-slot-0 sb
To load a soundblaster at this point. If the slot loading does not provide
the desired device - for example a soundblaster does not directly provide
a midi synth in all cases then it will request "sound-service-0-n" where n
is
0 Mixer
2 MIDI
3, 4 DSP audio
The computer I'm on now has these lines in /etc/modules.conf:
alias sound-service-0-0 cs4232
alias sound-slot-0 cs4232
alias midi opl3
You should be able to play midi files if you manually "modprobe" the correct driver.
To make the log messages go away, and to have the correct drivers load automatically,
I believe that you'll need to add the appropriate lines in modules.conf.
If you don't know what modules your sound card/chip uses, you can probably find out by
reading though the kernel docs (or asking on this list -- someone here may have the
same hardware).
