It also means that the module names matches more closely to If no problem shows up (see below), this reason is good enough for me =20 to not object to such a change. > the driver that implemented by them (though this is a bit complicated > w/ the fact that pcm is the real driver behind these modules and pcm > isn't it's own device node)...

And we can't change gusc and sbc in a way to make your script work as =20 intended? I don't suggest doing this instead of your proposal, I just =20 want to know what options we have. > Though I do realize that sound module names are special since they > can (and do) end in numbers which none of our other drivers do... Is this a problem? And if yes, why is this not a problem with the =20 current snd_ prefix?
