I will check this out, and see if i can make any suggestions.. also, you could
specify a seperate dir to hold the NEW modules, and update the depmod search
path (this is how i frequently tell ubuntu users to install alsa, from
source).

We should be able to do a few tests, to determine things, and handle them
differently etc.. If you've ever looked at the alsa-info.sh script, you'll
know what i mean.. When originally writing that script, i wanted to take into
account what 'interface' (if any) to use to display the output.. what
information to collect (ac97/hda-intel) etc..

Im certainly no real expert, but it sounds like it would be a handy script, so
worth a look into.
