Well, no. Now discover1 (as yet unreleased) has support for an /etc/discover.d dir where you can have something akin to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsa-base. Of course, once that discover1 upload is made, the bug goes to the ALSA maintainers. I've removed the wontfix tag - I hope this conclusion is satisfactory to you. -- Joshua Kwan
