I had a similar problem with my ISA SB AWE64 board.  While I don't doubt 
that (a variation of) your solution above would work, I found it much 
easier to config the kernel with built-in sound rather than modules.  
Works just fine, of course.   It's not likely I'm going to change my 
sound card every few days and re-boot.
