Generally it is in your /etc/modules.conf file

Some distros auutomatically generate this file from other files though. In that case you have to modify the file that it uses to generate the ALSA section within modules.conf

For example in Debian it's something like /etc/modutils/alsa
On my Gentoo box it's found at /etc/modules.d/alsa

Hope that helps.
