The correct Debian location for configuration files for new kernels

If you append the 2 option lines above to e.g. alsa-base it should
work.
You don't have to run update-modules, because it is obsolete.
Seems a bit silly that such a simple task requires editing obscure
config files, that don't have a stable interface, and that you had to
post to this list to figure it out.
Yes, it is one of the real shortcomings of Linux. One should be able to
specify the order or loading on bootup.
One possibility would be to put the module loading as early as possible
into say /etc/rd.sysinit, but Linux really has to straighten this out.
It is a kernel problem I think, not a distro problem.
Does anyone know if any distro has solved this problem cleanly? I know
Ubuntu has a nice interface for setting the default soundcard for ALSA
apps, but I don't think it can control the loading of drivers (which
determines which card binds to /dev/dsp for example).
