Don't know: according to man update-modules, it should work like this.
It may help to remove that /etc/modules.conf (or rename it) and then run
update-modules.

A better way would be _never_ to write directly to /etc/modules.conf .
Even your sound system should better write to some file
/etc/modutils/4front and then run update-modules. (Hope you can tell it
to do so, don't know how it works.)
