These flags are passed directly to the "insmod" command, which will a) load the kernel module and b) set module-parameters. The parameters are entirely module-specific. The documentation for the snd-hda-intel module shows the following as recognized parameters: model - force the model name position_fix - Fix DMA pointer (0 = auto, 1 = none, 2 = POSBUF, 3 = FIFO size) single_cmd - Use single immediate commands to communicate with codecs (for debugging only) disable_msi - Disable Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) What that means? I have no idea. But if you look at the code you might gain some clues. Ultimately if it works I'd figure the fine details are mostly irrelevant..
