[linux-audio-user] alsa mixer settings timing out

[Ken Locarnini]

Caveat: if alsaconf succeded in configuring your soundcard and you want 
your sound modules to stay loaded at all times add these couple of lines 
at the very end of the /etc/modules.conf file that was changed by alsaconf:

# -- Keep modules from being autocleaned
add options -k snd-card-0

RedHat has an autoclean process that runs every 10 minutes and removes 
kernel modules that have not been used for a while.
