This is not necessarily the case though. For example I just encountered a machine yesterday where hotplug or discover was loading the sound card modules before alsa, and in a different order than alsa would: it was loading the Alsa ICH AC97 modem driver first. We would then run alsaconf and it would unload everything and reload it in the right order and it would work again. The solution we chose in our case was to put the module name for the primary sound card into /etc/modules, to force it to be loaded first.
