2594 module aliases. The string ``snd-card-%1`` i 2508 module aliases. The string ``snd-card-%1`` is requested for ALSA native
2595 devices where ``%i`` is sound card number fro 2509 devices where ``%i`` is sound card number from zero to seven.
2596 2510
2597 To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, 2511 To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string
2598 ``sound-slot-%i`` where ``%i`` means the slot 2512 ``sound-slot-%i`` where ``%i`` means the slot number for OSS, which
2599 corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usual 2513 corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usually, define this

2610 The available number of auto-loaded sound car 2524 The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module

2612 To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, 2526 To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of

2614 2528
2615 When multiple cards are available, it'd bette 2529 When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index

2636 2550
2637 Alternative (and new) way to fixate the slot 2551 Alternative (and new) way to fixate the slot assignment is to use

2644 Then, the first slot (#0) is reserved for snd 2558 Then, the first slot (#0) is reserved for snd-interwave driver, and
2645 the second (#1) for snd-ens1371. You can omi 2559 the second (#1) for snd-ens1371. You can omit index option in each

2649 The slots option is especially useful for avo 2563 The slots option is especially useful for avoiding the possible
2650 hot-plugging and the resultant slot conflict. 2564 hot-plugging and the resultant slot conflict. For example, in the
2651 case above again, the first two slots are alr 2565 case above again, the first two slots are already reserved. If any
2652 other driver (e.g. snd-usb-audio) is loaded b 2566 other driver (e.g. snd-usb-audio) is loaded before snd-interwave or
2653 snd-ens1371, it will be assigned to the third 2567 snd-ens1371, it will be assigned to the third or later slot.
