The default genkernel kernel configurations (for at least x86/amd64) use
in-kernel ALSA (as modules) and will for the forseeable future.  If
someone wants to argue with me over why I shouldn't be doing that, I'm
all ears, but am likely to not change this until such time as we add
some additional support to the Installer for allowing the install of
on-disk external kernel modules in "Networkless" mode, and online
external kernel modules in the other modes.  In other words, if you want
me to change it, you better break out your python-fu and get coding.  ;]
