Why?  here's my /etc/modules.autoload:
snd-card-0
snd-pcm-oss
snd-seq-oss
snd-mixer-oss

That loads my sound card, and the oss compatability modules.

Then i created a /etc/modules.d/alsa file which contains the proper aliases
what the alsa docs ask for.  This is followed by modules-update.  *shrug*
While your script works, you're just redoing what's already been done :)
