: Nice. Is this stuff documented somewhere?
No. A lot of this is black magic voodoo :-(. Would make a good
project to document config. However, I fear that once documented, the
mythical replacement would actually arrive...

It is of no value because it is only a pci device. If you have
snd_emu10k1 in the kernel config file w/o pci, then nothing is
included. It should, instead, give an error at config or compile time
since this violates pola.
It wouldn't be useless in, say, the ep case. In that case we only
compile the bus front ends that are in the kernel. This means you
don't get EISA frontend if there's no 'device eisa' in your kernel.
