I did some more code reading and apparently you can't override a kernel module with another module of the same name _reliably_. That was a possibility under 2.4.x but not under 2.6.x. The new module utilities apparently just do a readdir scan of /lib/module/`uname -r`/ and the order of "discovery" depends on what readdir returns (what is the ordering of the returned entries, if any??). I hope I'm wrong and there's something I did miss. If my assesment is correct, I'm left with not options for upgrading the ALSA subsystem independently of the kernel itself. Arghhhh... -- Fernando
