[Alsa-user] Help... need Alsa startup script for Mandrake 10.1

[<arr...@ra...>]

I've been trouble with Alsa on Mandrake 10.1 official and I'm wondering if
anyone can help me.

The problem is simple: If I manually do a modprobe ("modprobe snd" and
"modprobe snd-ad1816a"), my sound card works.  Completely.  (It is an old
ISA card.)

However, the /etc/init.d/alsa and /etc/init.d/sound scripts won't do it,
so alsa doesn't get started when I reboot (unless I put the modprobes in
rc.local, of course).

When I looked at those scripts, they seemed strange.  For instance, one line is
 if  /sbin/modprobe -c | egrep -qs "^alias( |\t)+(snd|sound)-(card|slot)-[0-9]( |\t)+snd-";then
As far as I can tell, this line will fail to work because the new 2.6 kernel
modprobe has a different output format--it should be changed to modprobe.old.

Does anyone have a good Alsa startup script for Mandrake 10.1?  (Aside from
"put the modprobes in rc.local".)
