In principle, the order of device loading shouldn't be significant. Nevertheless, the analogous script is installed here and the sound devices work reliably, ... so far at least. Thanks! Inescapable Observation udev and hal were designed to make installation and removal of peripherals efficient. A naive user, for example, should be able to plug a device into a working system and have it operational with minimal attention to software. Yet the modprobe script and other strategies aim to circumvent the automation of udev! Circumventing of automation can be more obscure than setting an IRQ in an old ISA system. Hopefully the design of udev included a concept of efficient & reliable device identification. Regards, ...
