alsa and module-init-tools package

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

As long as you use Debian's alsa-base package, you don't need to do
anything.  Hotplug loads the alsa modules in a 2.6 kernel.

If you have 2 sound cards, and you don't like the order they load, use
an options file in /etc/modprobe.d to force the order you want.

Hope this helps.
