alsaconf should die as it's useful only for ISA/PCMCIA and currently broken
see, http://bugs.gentoo.org/456214does anyone have problems with dropping alsaconf and patching the gentoo's alsa-guide.xml to tell users to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa directly if they need? udev will autoload the modules just fine even without touching the whole file for PCI, USB, ... devices
