might depend on distro but usually the modules to load during boot
are listed in /etc/modules
it also depends on how you create your devices and load the modules,
e.g. if you use udev you need to list the modules (loading of the
modules creates device special files). on the other hand you can have
device files pre-created and accing thew file would load the module.
Looks like udev is the future (from what I've seen on lkml).

Thanks for the pointer on were to find sfxload and asfxload.
When using sfxload, I was able to load a sound font and use the Emu10k1
WaveTable synthesizer.
But when I read this post, I changed to the asfxload program. Then I
got an error stating the emu10k1-synth was not present. Something
about 'unknown HwDep'. In
/lib/modules/2.4.26-lck1/kernel/drivers/sound I found
snd-emu10k1-synth.o snd-emux-synth.o
Why weren't they found at bootup? In my kernel configuration for Sound
Support, I said Module to Sound and left everything else blank. Should
I have indicated using Module for the Emu10k1 section?
Or can I somehow load these modules at bootup time into my kernel? If
so, how (or where can I read about this topic?) On Wed, 2004-09-22 at 00:31, The Other wrote:
for the record, sfxload and asfxload are functionally equivalent. the
funny thing about sfxload is that, while being used by alsa users a
lot, it does not actually speak alsa but needs the oss sequencer
emulation to work. asfxload is a native alsa sequencer application. But I would like to also be able to use the
port-- 65:0 Emu10k1
WaveTable. For that I appear to need the sfxload program.
You actually want asfxload.

This should be in alsa-utils, but it isn't.
