Thanks Frank, that's probably the information I need :-)
my only problem now, is that when I try to 'modprobe snd-opti92x-ad1848' I
get 'no OPTi 82C92x soundcard found'.
Which is strange because I'm sure I put one in the case :~]
The soundcard is one that is theoretically PnP but in actuality is not
recognised by the BIOS.
I think I'm close

interestingly enough alsaconf updated /etc/alsa/modutils/0.5
Delete this, if you don't use ALSA 0.5 and you really shouldn't do
that as well, 0.5 is way obsolete.
I have a file next door to it called
./0.9-demudi, which is much easier
to read.
I tried applying some appropriate looking values to this file, but I'm
not sure how to activate it. update-modules does not appear to touch this
file. I'm also not sure that I should be putting my soundcard details in
/etc/modutils as that duplicates the values in /etc/alsa/modutils.
They may already be the same file, i.e. one is a link to the other
like here:
$ ls -l /etc/modutils/
total 21
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 12 2002 alsa ->
/etc/alsa/modutils/0.9
It is important, that you have one under /etc/modutils/.
update-modules collects everything under this directory to build the
'real' module configuration, which is in /etc/modules.conf. This last
file gets overwritten everytime you or an installaton script calls
update-modules.
