Why are the blacklists not in hotplug and/or discover, where the real
problem is? This is a serious question: Is there some reason that having
a module in the blacklist would cause a problem if the module wasn't
actually present?
I a little concerned that we've worked around to a situation where
having the kernel require audio packages is seen a legitimate
solution...
