[linux-audio-user] Correct way to start alsa newer kernels?

I have three scripts in /etc/init.d:
1. alsa, apparently deprecated
2. aslasound, claims to be the right one
3. alsautils.

I am not (according to webmin) doing any of these on startup.
The two audio drivers, snd-ens1371 and usb-audio load anyway (not by hotplug
that lists them as already loaded). Only options on these is "index" and they
load in the desired order in any event.

The snd-mpu401 does not load No error message. This one has "options".
Alsasound does not reference options, just the sound-card-# lines to find
drivers. It looks for a snd-...... file in init.d. I made one for the mpu401
to modprobe it with its options. As I said, alsasound is not being run.
I can modprobe this manually just fine.

Apparently, starting with 2.6.12? options not checked?
Apparently, starting with 2.6.14, I need to on my system anyway, compile in
the soundcore to get anything to work.
