[NTLUG:Discuss] sound, modules, and parameters

[Hrothgar]

i've got the same thing you do, yet you're modules don't autoclean.  i'm
using kmod to do my module loading instead of the older kerneld.  i guess
the pressing question in my mind is what makes a module autocleanable?

:i have an ES1788 soundcard that is being recognized as an ES1888, so i
:need to pass "esstype=1788" to my sound module.  no prob...add it to
:/etc/conf.modules.  the problem is that the module (and it's buddies) are
:not being cleaned (removed) properly.  upon first loading the modules, i
:get the following:
:
:  Module                  Size  Used by
:  sb                     33492   0  (autoclean)
:  uart401                 5904   0  (autoclean) [sb]
:  sound                  56364   0  [sb uart401]
:  soundcore               2148   5  (autoclean) [sb sound]
:
:
:notice that "sound" is not set to autoclean.  so when my module loader
:tries to autoclean i end up with this:
:
:  Module                  Size  Used by
:  sound                  56364   0
:  soundcore               2148   3  (autoclean) [sound]
:
:
:now my sound won't load right because it obviously sees that "soundcore"
:is loaded and doesn't attempt to load the rest.  i then have to manually
:do a `rmmod` to clean up the mess.  here are the relavent line from my
:/etc/conf.modules:
:
:  alias sound sb
:  pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1
:  options sb esstype=1788 io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1
:
:
:now onto my questions:
:
:[1] how can i make the sound module autoclean or can i tell sb not to
:autoclean?
:
:[2] is there any way i could do this without modules and configure my
:soundcard as compiled into the kernel with the right esstype set?
