I've changed the package from pulseaudio to alsa-driver, which contains the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. Can somebody knowledgeable about sound cards comment on this? If it is true that the card is being switched off to save power, this seems rather silly to me, as I can't imagine that switching the sound card off could save any amount of power worth worrying about.
