2593 The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically 2576 The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically on demand by defining
2594 module aliases. The string ``snd-card-%1`` i 2577 module aliases. The string ``snd-card-%1`` is requested for ALSA native
2595 devices where ``%i`` is sound card number fro 2578 devices where ``%i`` is sound card number from zero to seven.
2596 2579
2597 To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, 2580 To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string
2598 ``sound-slot-%i`` where ``%i`` means the slot 2581 ``sound-slot-%i`` where ``%i`` means the slot number for OSS, which
2599 corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usual 2582 corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usually, define this
2600 as the same card module. 2583 as the same card module.
2601 2584
2602 An example configuration for a single emu10k1 2585 An example configuration for a single emu10k1 card is like below:

2609 2592
2610 The available number of auto-loaded sound car 2593 The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module
2611 option ``cards_limit`` of snd module. As def 2594 option ``cards_limit`` of snd module. As default it's set to 1.
2612 To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, 2595 To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of
2613 sound cards in that option. 2596 sound cards in that option.
2614 2597
2615 When multiple cards are available, it'd bette 2598 When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index
2616 number for each card via module option, too, 2599 number for each card via module option, too, so that the order of
2617 cards is kept consistent. 2600 cards is kept consistent.

2634 In this example, the interwave card is always 2617 In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card
2635 (index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1) 2618 (index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1).
2636 2619
2637 Alternative (and new) way to fixate the slot 2620 Alternative (and new) way to fixate the slot assignment is to use
2638 ``slots`` option of snd module. In the case 2621 ``slots`` option of snd module. In the case above, specify like the
2639 following: 2622 following:
2640 :: 2623 ::
2641 2624
2642 options snd slots=snd-interwave,snd-ens13 2625 options snd slots=snd-interwave,snd-ens1371
2643 2626
2644 Then, the first slot (#0) is reserved for snd 2627 Then, the first slot (#0) is reserved for snd-interwave driver, and
2645 the second (#1) for snd-ens1371. You can omi 2628 the second (#1) for snd-ens1371. You can omit index option in each
2646 driver if slots option is used (although you 2629 driver if slots option is used (although you can still have them at
2647 the same time as long as they don't conflict) 2630 the same time as long as they don't conflict).
2648 2631
2649 The slots option is especially useful for avo 2632 The slots option is especially useful for avoiding the possible
2650 hot-plugging and the resultant slot conflict. 2633 hot-plugging and the resultant slot conflict. For example, in the
2651 case above again, the first two slots are alr 2634 case above again, the first two slots are already reserved. If any
2652 other driver (e.g. snd-usb-audio) is loaded b 2635 other driver (e.g. snd-usb-audio) is loaded before snd-interwave or
2653 snd-ens1371, it will be assigned to the third 2636 snd-ens1371, it will be assigned to the third or later slot.
2654 2637
2655 When a module name is given with '!', the slo 2638 When a module name is given with '!', the slot will be given for any
2656 modules but that name. For example, ``slots= 2639 modules but that name. For example, ``slots=!snd-pcsp`` will reserve
2657 the first slot for any modules but snd-pcsp. 2640 the first slot for any modules but snd-pcsp.
