Where does alsasound come from, it is not a package, nor a kernel-module.

The only error I can notice in dmesg is

ALSA sound/core/init.c:132: cannot find the slot for index 0 (range 0-0)

There is another strange think I noticed. Could someone please explain to
me:

aus /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:
install snd-intel8x0 modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 \
$CMDLINE_OPTS && /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-intel8x0

there is another file .alsa-base in the same directory where this line
reads:

install snd-intel8x0 modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 \
&& /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-intel8x0

which is the correct one? should the other file be removed?

Any help appreciated.
