I don't get this last part. |

My ALSA is built as modules, including the core (I'm guessing that means |
| 19 |
snd.ko, right?). I don't do anything particular to load them, they're |
| 20 |
not listed in /etc/conf.d/modules. Yet the mixer save and restore via |
| 21 |
alsasound works. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Could it be that alsasound itself loads the modules on demand, and the |
| 24 |
warning above is misleading? |
