There is only problem with autocleaned modules for both kerneld and kmod.
There is no known way (for me) how to store driver settings at this moment.
Modules are removed automaticaly from kernel without interaction with user
space, so 'pre-remove' and 'post-remove' sections for modprobe aren't
working. I recommend at this time use of sound.init script which loads
most of sound modules without autoclean flag and other (add-on) modules
(like PCM OSS emulation) are loaded by kerneld/kmod.
