Right, but it's still a one-way abstraction, even if it's for other services -
you can accomplish the same just by adding an upstart event and a udev rule,
without having the soud conf file in between.

While it may make the service not run if you disable the hardware, it does it
in a way that actually *increases* the boot time. I don't think that's how we
want to go about it.
