[Alsa-user] Odd message in /var/log/syslog

[Edenyard]

Please could someone shed some light on this!

I'm running ALSA 0.9.8 (via82xx driver) with Kernel 2.4.24 and I noticed
today that there are very many lines in my /var/log/syslog which look
like this:
    07:48:36 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-2
    07:48:36 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-2-0
These lines are repeated sometimes every minute for several minutes and
then don't occur again for maybe an hour or two. They occur even when 
I'm not using any sound applications.

The relevant part of my /etc/modules.conf looks like this:

    alias char-major-116 snd
    options snd major=116 cards_limit=2
    alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
    options snd-via82xx mpu_port=0x330
    # OSS/Free setup
    alias char-major-14 soundcore
    alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
    # First card (card 0)
    alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
    alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
    alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
    alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
    alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
    # Second card (card 1) - virtual MIDI card
    alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
    alias snd-card-1 snd-virmidi
I wondered whether the system is trying to look for a third sound card,
although I have the 'cards_limit=2' option specified for 'snd'. If so, why??
Any clues gratefully received!

Cheers,

Gerald.
