I don't know if there are other devices that have the same PCI card
and different "box" (not necessarily an audio device). The Gina3G
and Layla3G have different driver, but same PCI card. For example I
have a Gina3G. If in /lib/modules/x.x.x/modules.pcimap the Layla3G
module is listed before the Gina3G the original hotplug script loads
snd-layla3g *only* which, obviously, fails.
With that change pci_map_modules() return all matching modules, so
it fixes the problem. BUT, there is a comment before that function
that says it returns "ONE" (all uppercase) module only. It means
it was done on purpose, but I can't see why.
