Really? Can't recall that comment on this list. It is certainly more work the first time you install a machine (you need to know your hardware), but in the long run it's easier for a lot of reasons, IMHO. I've been running my kernels with everything I need included since ages; laptop with Intel video card, desktop with NVidia (thanks nouveau!), and every server I run. I use the nvidia binary module in my media center, and sometimes I install VMware or VirtualBox, and then I have a couple of modules hanging out. But usually lsmod returns nothing in my machines. In particular, all my ALSA drivers are included in my kernel, and they never give me trouble. But of course, none of this answers your original question. Good luck with that.
