Yes, ad1848_init() is only called from 3 places and everytime the return
is stored in hw_config->slots[0]. So change in all these 3 places and
then slots[0] is being checked in sound_unload_audiodev() and also in
sound/oss/pss.c, so you need to modify those checks also.
But these are all just from a quick grep, if you really want to change
then you need to see the driver carefully for other places that i might
have missed.
