for info this is my /etc/modprobe.conf


alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias char-major-14 sound
alias char-major-14-6 sndstat
alias char-major-10-1 mousedev
alias sound-card-0 snd-cs4236
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
install sound-card-0 {/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
};/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound_slot_0
remove sound-card-0 {/usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
};/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove sound_slot_0

(I have experimented with the no working line)
