Hello,

While setting up my sound using alsa, I have entered (on advice from the
alsa website) these lines in my modules.conf file:

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

If I modprobe snd-intel8x0, everything works fine, and I can use music
players etc. If however, I try to modprobe snd-card-0, modprobe fails,
stating:

FATAL: Module snd_card_0 not found.

I was under the impression that the aliases just would allow me to
modprobe the alias snd-card-0, and that would in fact insert the
snd-intel8x0 module. Is that correct? Is the error message showing the
module name with underscores, when the module name I specify as input to
modprobe is with hyphens, significant?

Cheers
Rob
