10 alsasound service normally tries to load all the stuff it detects as modules.
11 If you ran alsaconf, then in /etc/modules.d/alsa there will be a line
12 aliasing the snd_via82xx module. you can safely remove it, which will get rid
13 of the message. Alternatively recompile the kernel with that option as a
14 module, and it will load as alsasound expects at boot.

16 The gentoo base seems to work better with kernel as modules, and if you change
17 your hardware and already have the modules built, simply rerunning alsaconf
18 will reconfigure your sound setup appropriately.
