Hi Kerry. Thanks for the informative message. But if I wanted to have it run a shell script, I suppose I could .profile it in for each user, but couldn't I just add it in on one of the runlevels such as rc2? Speaking of which alsasound didn't load when I rebooted my machine just to see if it would work. Looks like I'll have to check the rcs.

Would anyone have any suggestions on this? Also, for some odd reason, /etc/rc.d seems to be nonexistent on my Debian box. I know it would be easy to edit rc.local to put in my shell script to load the alsa modules, but I don't have rc.d to begin with. I was looking at adding it in as part of the init process at boot time. Also, do I really need rc.d to begin with? If I create an /etc/rc.d/rc.local with some commands, which file (s) would I have to edit to have rc.local be read at start-up? Thanks!
