[linux-audio-user] Probing modules

Hi, just for fun and for learning the system, I wanted to write a small script which automatically configures any soundcards (similar to alsaconf). Based on PCI, I wanted to get all vendor and card IDs and modprobe each ALSA module to each card found and check the result. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be that easy. Could anyone confirm, that I cannot load a module to a certain PCI card? Furthermore, modprobe does not give any error when probing a module for a card I do not have. And I found no way to get backwards the card ID for a loaded module :( . Does anyone know a way how I can find out which cards are in the system and which module fits to it? Any wee small hint is very welcome. Best regards ce
