Where, Alexander?  It's not obvious:

alias eth0 8139too
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_via
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias char-major-81 zr36067
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394

The only line I can see as a possibility is

remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k

which I don't understand.

Can you explain it to me, please?
