My /etc/modules file says it's generated automatically from
/etc/modutils, so I used my investigative hammer:

/etc $ grep 1371 modules.conf
alias sound-slot-0 es1371

/etc $ grep -r 1371 modutils/
modutils/sndconfig:alias sound-slot-0 es1371

/etc $ cat modutils/sndconfig 
alias sound-slot-0 es1371
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :


I haven't tampered with anything in /etc/modutils/ yet -- should I
edit modutils/sndconfig and replace es1371 with snd_ens1371.

I've just tried
# rmmod es1371
but it didn't help.  (lsmod showed that snd_ens1371 was still there
but not es1371.)  Does that mean anything to you?

Thanks,
