I don't remember whether I had such a problem before (a module not giving
the names of modules which use it). Maybe repeated "modprobe -r" of all snd*
modules might help. From googl'ing around it looks like such a situation
indicates a bug in the module. Try maybe digging the kernel Bugzilla or the
ALSA project web site (alsa-project.org).
