I don't understand : my kernel has a lot of sound-module when I boot.
I see it with lsmod. I can remove some of them, but not everyone.

I can run /etc/init.d/alsa unload. Some modules stay.

Even if I reload alsa, xmms don't play.
I must run alsaconf. It calls /etc/init.d/alsa and then xmms plays.

What do alsaconf ? Then I can create a dirty /etc/init.d/S40_my_alsa.

I find alsa very difficult !
