Audio team: now that the issue with modprobe.conf has been fixed (double fixed: bug #8134 and bug #8832), we have the option of reinstating alsaconf if it is appropriate.
The reporter of this bug seems to claim that it would allow these cards to work out of the box, which does not match my understanding (alsaconf must be run interactively); however, it is still useful to users with non-PNP ISA cards, for which there is little, if any, hope of configuring them automatically.
