s size is far more dynamic than rd, and it shrinks as well as grows.
Unless you are creating a lot of temporary files and such, though,
initrd is indeed a much better solution from many perspectives. (IMHO)

If you create a post-action in /etc/modules.conf which initializes the
mixer to proper levels, this problem does not exist.
No kernel coding required
the hardware, the driver is using hardware that is in an
unknown state. (using hardware w/out resetting it == unknown state)
You are depending on the hardware to keep its state -between- driver
unload and driver reload. That seems inherently unstable to me. It

The one thing that you and I agree on: It would be nice if the driver
did not init the mixer to a set of defaults, when a preferred set is
available.
However, since simply leaving the driver loaded solves all
vers/sound/sound_firmware.c says
that this is a poor method, and that the recommended method for
uploading firmware to a device is via ioctl.

The kernel is free to bump the module reference count up and down as it
pleases. For example, if a driver creates a kernel thread, that will
increase its module usage count by one, for the duration of the kernel
thread's lifetime.

You assumed the module count == device open count, when that was in fact

kernel
st_spinlocks above the
