I'm not sure about that. But it would be logical to make it work that
way. It's about putting parameters in there for loading the modules if
you can't find the better place to advise udev/hotplug to use them. So
putting "snd_intel8x0 index=0 .." there may well do the trick.
Using index options in /etc/modprobe.d/sound would be the better
solution, as udevd/hotplugd read these files AFAIK.

Which two? Modem and Cam? ...

Kaffeine/xine may use /dev/dsp or bypass artsd? If a sound daemon is
running it would be better to use it. If the soundcard's alsa is able to
do hardwaremixing it might be ok too, as it then can handle both
streams simultanous.
I don't know KDE/artsd, but esd can be configured for a specific
sounddevice (/etc/esound/ or ~/). Sure this is true for artsd too. Have
a look into the manpages or /usr/share/doc/<packetname>.
