Because some kernel component tries to autoload a missing
sub-component that handles sound-service-0-0. The reason can be
mixing device access or probing of sound devices.
Yes. I knew that. But I'd really like to know *exactly* what device is accessed, and/or what application or deamon does it.

Which is a weird question. Add it to disable that log message. ;)
The question was really:

Why isn't this line, or any mention at all of "sound-service-0-0", necessary on systems that do have sound cards?
