Re: how to keep /dev/video? and /dev/dsp? consistent
[In reply to]

I use pre-install in /etc/modules.conf
i.e.
pre-install "this module" modprobe "that module"
which basically means before you load "this module" load "that module"
first. I use this to daisy chain a bunch of modules, so I dont lose the
/dev/dsp and /dev/video assignments. However, when two devices share
the same module (ex. 2 bttv TV cards), then only ordering of PCI slots
seem to determine the ordering of the devices.
