The attached patch modifies sound/core/init.c so that a negative index
value is interpreted as a bitmask indicating the allowed indices for the
driver. This extends the current semantics according to which:
value
-----
0 .. SNDRV_CARDS - 1 Set index to value
-1 = 0xffffffff Set index to first available
by allowing also:
-2 = 0xfffffffe Set index to first available > 0
-4 = 0xfffffffc Set index to first available > 1
-8 = 0xfffffff8 Set index to first available > 2
-16 = 0xfffffff0 Set index to first available > 3
etc.
The patch is required in order to provide a convenient way of excluding
ALSA modem and TV drivers from grabbing index 0. This issue was discussed
at:
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1293
The patch is included in alsa-driver 1.0.8-1 and has been applied to
ubuntu's 2.6 kernel. It has been accepted in principle by upstream too:

These were unfortunately not implemented for sarge. The change is
implemented upstream and will therefore make it into etch, so there is
no point in keeping the reports open.
