Bad idea. It should work the first time without errors or you can't 
trust it IMO.

I found similar errors to you until I decided to load the modules 
manually before running hdsploader.

I use a multiface here.

I run this script.

# modprobe snd-cmipci;
modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-pcm-oss; modprobe snd-seq-oss;
modprobe snd-hdsp; hdsploader;

# route jack inputs to line out
# left
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 26,26,4000
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 28,26,4000
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 30,26,4000
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 32,26,4000
# right
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 27,27,4000
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 29,27,4000
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 31,27,4000
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 33,27,4000

# Set volume for analog outputs to reasonable level
# and connect jack inputs to analog outs
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 26,0,4000;
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 27,1,4000;
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 28,2,4000;
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 29,3,4000;
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 30,4,4000;
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 31,5,4000;
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 32,6,4000;
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 33,7,4000;
amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 34,8,4000;

Save it as a file in your path eg /usr/local/bin/starthdsp

make it executable.

  chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/starthdsp

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.
