Thanks! It was an interesting to read bug report. So basically you need 
the alias to your real sond card in order for modprobe to load it by alias.

I think the adding the file to /etc/sysconfig/modules as described in an 
earlier post on another subject would be the best place to locate a 
isasound.modules file with the information.

so hotplug was needed for ISA cards!


Sound-related lines in FC5 modprobe.conf:

alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-cs4236 index=0
remove snd-cs4236 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-cs4236

The modprobe.conf file in comment 29 looks OK to me.
No changes to this file are going to improve the loading of this module.

I think the simplest solution is to do:

# echo "/sbin/modprobe snd-card-0" >> /etc/rc.local

modprobe will map snd-card-0 to the real driver using the alias line 
from the
modprobe.conf. This will ensure that whatever module is configured will get
loaded on every boot.

Does anyone else has a better solution?
