if ycp language becomes standard over the world ;)
(yast2 configurator uses its own script language.)
i myself don't touch much with yast2 development but just helped
debugging...

btw, for configuration of a single card, the modified alsaconf script
might be helpful:

	ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/misc/alsaconf

this is based on the old alsaconf shell script but enhanced with
pci/pnp detection.
it can detect even some of old isa chips without pnp (not always fully
functional, though).
