Thanks.  I know that would work, but I'm trying to avoid it
because:
	1. It defeats the whole purpose of dynamically loaded
	   modules.
	2. It creates one more change I have to remember to
	   add back in each time I upgrade my system...

Jaroslav's solution sounds better.  While logically it is
the same file I'm editing, it is easier to remember that I
need to load a generic module than a hardware specific one.

Now, what I'll probably really do is HACK a version of
amixer that loads persist.o if it isn't already loaded.
(e.g. The same type of thing I did with pppd).
